dc.description.abstractCritics and the general public tend to undervalue the fantasy genre's ability to represent real-life issues. However, the deep analysis of fantasy-related works on the screen in terms of their relevance in representing real phenomena proves that pieces of fantasy also aim to incorporate and represent such themes. In this thesis, by analyzing Neil Jordan's Interview with the Vampire (1994), Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec's The Vampire Diaries (2009-2017), D. B. Weiss and David Benioff's Game of Thrones (2011-2019), and David Ayer's Bright (2017), I provide insight into how pieces of fantasy are also relevant in representing real-life issues, in this case, the immigrant experience. Also, through exploring the presence of the general, often-recurring themes of the immigrant perspective in works of art, I argue that the representation of real-life phenomena is not an innovation of the genre but rather a progressively more visible aspect due to the change in the modes of representation, as since the millennium they have increasingly become more direct and straightforward.
