Weeks 3 and 4


1) How is science fiction different from fantasy, according to Le Guinn?

2) How does Attebery (1980) define Fantasy? Find at least five definitions?

3) In what ways does Tax (2002) suggest Earthsea may still be relevant today?

4) What are some archetypes that often recur in fantasy fiction? Give examples from Earthsea and other fantasy works you might know.

5) In what way is The Wizard of Earthsea a ‘coming of age’ novel? Does it escape from the ‘boy’s own adventure’ story? How are Ged’s adventures different from Tintin’s?
