Analysis of excerpts of fantasy stories

Well, when it comes to excerpts of fantasy stories, one key thing to consider is the language used. Fantasy often has a very descriptive language to create vivid and otherworldly settings. The use of adjectives can really bring the strange lands and magical creatures to life. For example, if an excerpt describes a dragon, words like 'gleaming','scaly' and 'fearsome' might be used. Additionally, the themes in these excerpts can range from good versus evil, which is very common, to more complex ideas like the balance of power or the search for identity in a magical world. And of course, the cultural influence on the fantasy can't be ignored. Some fantasy stories are deeply influenced by European folklore, while others might draw from Asian or African mythologies.
