Default Fantasy Tropes We Love

Fantasy Tropes We Love

Tropes are common literary devices, and they have existed throughout the history of storytelling. They can be a plot device, a turn of phrase, or a type of character within the story. Every genre has a number of tropes that are especially prevalent in their stories, and most of them go through varying states of popular and uncommon use.

Fantasy is no different. Examples of some of its frequent tropes include the Chosen One, the Dark Lord, the ancient prophecy, fantasy races (such as elves or orcs), and the lost heir to the throne.

What are the ones that you love no matter how many times you read about them? Whether it’s one of these examples or something completely different, let us know which tropes they are and what it is that draws you in every time.

One of my favourites is the reluctant hero. I love when a protagonist doesn't want power or glory, but ends up rising to the occasion anyway, whether it's because of compassion, loyalty, or sheer survival. There's something deeply compelling about watching someone grow into greatness, not because they crave it, but because the world needs them to.

Another trope I'll always adore is found family. Give me a ragtag groupwho become each other's home, and I'm emotionally invested. Whether they're on the run from an empire, travelling across enchanted lands, or just trying to survive their magical education, there's something magical in those bonds.

And I'll admit that I have a soft spot for the ancient prophecy. Especially when it gets subverted or twisted in clever ways. I love the mystery, the build-up, and the eventual realization (or rejection) of destiny.
