The supernatural theme plays a very important role in literature. It can also play a very important role in the “real world” of everyday life. We are constantly trying to escape reality and the problems that we face in the real world. Adding magical creatures, gods, demands, vampires, spirits, and superpowers to a story can make it exciting and take us away from the bland actions that we witness every day in the real world. The super natural world can help us to activate our imagination and explore things that we could never really experience. Super natural stories and films are very entertaining because it can be unpredictable and far more exciting than everyday life. But the best thing about these type of stories is that they can have the same lesson and morals of an adventure in the “real world”.
Super natural themed stories can exist to teach lessons, motivate people and encourage people, just in a more exciting way. If we look beyond all the superpower and mystical creatures we can find a lesson or something that can motive us to be a better human being. If you think about it we can almost always relate to these stories. A writer just uses supernatural themes to hook an audience. In reality if you take out all the imaginary things the lesson is not much different than a journey in the real world. Many of these stories follow the same pattern as a task in the “real world”. For example the call to adventure can be anything like a phone call or invitation. The refusals of call can any excuses you make. Crossing the threshold can be anywhere for entering an unfamiliar place, leaving known limits, or venturing into danger where the rules change. Matting with a god can simply be meeting with anyone that can give you knowledge that can help you reach your goals.
The book “Coraline” is a very exciting story that easily hooks an audience. The author Neil Gaiman Uses a lot of Supernatural characters and adds many twists and turns to the story to keep it interesting. Coraline wants a more adventures life and more attention from her parent. But when she gets what she wishes for she wants everything back to normal. Overall we can all relate to the story and apply the true lesson to our very own life. The true lesson was to appreciate what you have because the grass isn’t always greener on the otherside.
We can be hooked to theses fictional stories they can bring lots of significant to our everyday life. Many of these fictional supernatural themed stories Can help us overcome our fairs and help us to transform into the person that we a distant to be. For Example in the film “Stardust” directed by Mathew Vaugh the main character Tristan Thorn can highly motivate us to take steps closer to our goals and to overcome our fairs. Watching Thorn complete his goals of finding true love and transforming into his true sense of self really helped me have more faith in myself. Although it was a supernatural film that had many unrealistically events I was able to relate to it. The many archetypes and magical creatures really helped me better understand my self and other people from the real world.
In conclusion, the super natural world plays a huge role in the real world. It gives us excitement and a chance to except from reality. Most importantly it gives us a lesson and helps us to understand our own life. The author adds magical creatures, gods, demands, vampires, spirits, and superpowers for the audience to better understand his or her feelings on thing. The supernatural world can teach us many lessons that we can apply to our everyday life. It can also motivate us to be better people ,look beyond all our obstacles and overcome our fairs.
