Magic, Morality, and Machine: A Fantasy Exploration
This chapter examines the various portrayals of magic in fantasy literature, contrasting classic authors like Lewis and Tolkien with contemporary magical systems. It delves into the moral implications of magic, its representation as tied to characters rather than an omnipresent force, and parallels between magic and modern technology, particularly artificial intelligence. Through discussions of ethical dilemmas and unique magical concepts, the chapter highlights the deeper truths of magic and power within narratives.
