Fantasy, Magical realism, Supernatural, Modern world.

The approach of magic and the supernatural in both magical realism and fantasy literature is generally positive. The way each one uses those supernatural components, though varies slightly. This study contends that the primary distinction in how these genres uses supernatural aspects is that, unlike magical realism, where the supernatural is conceivable in the modern world, the supernatural in these genres is not. Fantasy fiction places the supernatural in wholly made-up worlds with no allusion to our world, where it is accepted as a banal aspect of reality. It is asserted that how the supernatural is depicted in those particular ways depends quite a bit on the setting of the stories, both geographically and historically. The distinction between magical realism and fantasy fiction is carefully investigated while outlining the common patterns of setting selection using examples from well-known works in both genres. In addition to exploring the causes of this disparity in how the supernatural is handled, this study considers the origins and future of these genres, influence comes from being made. As a result, it also examines the underlying cultural and socioeconomic factors as well as the various stages of capitalism in the nations and societies from which these two fiction genres primarily emerge that drive writers to use the supernatural in their works in these particular ways.
