  11. Conclusions • Fantasy exists in many different forms • Each type continues to be popular today • Some forms scare us so that we can be cleansed of real life fears since we know we will survive just like the hero • We read and listen to fantasy stories and watch fantasy movies for entertainment to make us laugh, scream, or tremble
