High Fantasies are characterized by its setting, characters, and even the plot.[http://https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fantasy] In this type of fantasies, characters such as dragons, elves, wizards, and dwarfs can be found all over in secondary world. | High Fantasies are characterized by its setting, characters, and even the plot.[http://https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fantasy] | ||
In this type of fantasies, characters such as dragons, elves, wizards, and dwarfs can be found all over in secondary world. The Lord of the Rings is one the best high fantasy novels created. In Lord of The Rings, The Ring symbolizes power and evil.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings] The Dark Lord Sauron creates this Ring to overrule all other ring of powers as the supersonic weapon to overtake middle-earth.[http://http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Sauron] Another second fantasy characteristic is "The Eye,” which represents a darker symbol. The Eye is used to protect the surroundings of Mordor, a way for Lord Sauron to see all around. | |||
Heroic Fantasies is like a timeline of events for a character in the secondary world. Heroic is a bit different from high fantasies, its problems are generally those of the heroes, not the world.[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroicFantasy] A great example of this would be, Frodo Baggins from Lord of The Rings.[http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Frodo_Baggins] Frodo is a hobbit who takes on a quest with a wizard, dwarfs, and others to destroy the “ring” in the fire of Mount Doom. The journey Frodo takes is a test of survival. Having to travel thousands of miles by foot, escaping the black riders, and fighting off Sauron’s men, while still holding the only Ring that can control middle earth. As the journey continues he lost the urge to destroy the Ring, wanting to retain the Ring for himself. Even against all the his desire to keep it he still continues his mission and gets pass “The Eye” and reaches the volcano to destroy the Ring. A stoorish hobbit named Gollum attacks and bites off Frodo's finger but loses his balance and falls off the cliff with the ring destroying the Ring and dying. | Heroic Fantasies is like a timeline of events for a character in the secondary world.
