Fantasy tropes

Fantasy tropes are common themes or conventions that appear in fantasy stories, such as magical swords, wise wizards, dragons, or hero’s quests. They serve as familiar elements that help create a believable world or evoke certain feelings. While some may see them as clichés, they also provide a shared language for storytelling, allowing writers and readers to quickly connect with the setting or characters. When used creatively, these tropes can enrich a story, giving it depth and resonance beyond their familiar outlines.
