Understanding Different Types of Worlds in Literature
Differences: The Everyday World: The world surrounding us, in which we ourselves are inserted every day.
Realistic World: A world that is based on the reality that surrounds us or not. Reality is not only the experience as a man, but it exists objectively. That is the real world, which surrounds us and not around us, i.e., encompassing the everyday world.
Everyday World Example: “His dress and his manners were far from resembling the manners and dress of our finest in the capital. Everything in revealing the provincial young man who comes for the first time in Santiago. His black pants, embotinados through calf with wide belt loops.”
Dreamlike World Example: “It was again the White Rabbit, jumping, returning slowly and looking anxiously on either side as if looking for something. Alice heard muttering to himself: ‘Oh, Duchess! The Duchess!’ By the life of my dear paws! Oh my skin and whiskers!. Everything seems in order in this story. However, when the rabbit speaks to Alicia, we see that the logic of what we are used to perceive as usual cracks or violent. Let us talk a rabbit can happen in a dream, but not in our everyday reality, and this is why we talk about dream world.” The dream world is separated from all others, keeping you captive in the story with the question of whether you are actually awake or in a dream.
Realistic World Example: Small and together they went into the black tunnel. They were among the first to arrive and the movement of the mine did not start yet. In the gallery, high enough to allow the mining raise its height, only distinguished from the ceiling crossed by heavy timbers.
Fantastic World Example: The Moor put his big head and said something in his ear, to disguise gave him a sugar cube in her hand. Luckily no one heard me, otherwise would have thought I was crazy, because people do not talk to the animals (or animals do not talk to people, it’s all about points of views).
Marvelous World Example: When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning after a restless sleep, he found himself on his bed transformed into a monstrous insect.
Differences: Fantasy World: Tries to find the likelihood (resemble reality). As readers, it gives us a feeling of doubt, of possibility. Wonderful World: No verisimilitude. As readers, we know that we are witnessing a world that is impossible to materialize in reality.
Legendary World Example: “There was once a very tough, very jactancioso.Una once lived in the place where temple building a strong thick walls and columns, said full of pride to see: Great stuff this. I can throw down with a kick.”
Mythical World Example: In the epew-story-the origin of the Mapuche people, our ancestors say that the first Mapuche Spirit came from the blue. But not just any blue but the blue of the East. And like our Earth, there was nothing to paint the blue like the sky reflected on the deep, intense, said the Blue exists in the East and in the spirit and heart of each one of us. And when the spirit, in the brevity of their passage through this world leaves the body, goes westward to call Rafter of death to help him cross the River of Tears and arrive at the island-the Country-Blue in the living spirits of our Elders.
Differences: Mythical World: Your goal is to represent explanations for natural phenomena that took the man from his orígenesPresenta characters as gods, demigods. Legendary World: Your goal is to represent great achievements of man as heroic battles memorablesPresenta human characters that stand out for having on human characteristics.
