language has the power in creating perception and cognition of the intended
meanings. Secondly, fantasy, a literary genre, is commonly comprised in an
academic curriculum in the field of language and literature (Language Arts);

thus, understanding of various aspects/senses of figurative language and
fantasy will effectively enhance designing academic materials of related
programs in order to promote education in this field. Next, the findings should
provide fundamental understanding of how to create effective perception and
cognition in fantasy works for writers. Lastly, for professionals in the fantasy
film industry, the findings seem to suggest that the creations of audio and

visual images of settings/themes/characters in a film should be taken into
consideration based on this knowledge of the connection between figurative
language and fantasy.

Recommendation for Further Research

This study is limited to two fantasy films: Prince of Persia and Clash
of the Titans. To provide additional insight into the roles of figurative language
in this area, a further study can be expanded into a broader forum of fantasy
literature including various fantasy films in different cultures. Moreover, an in-

depth analysis especially focusing on the roles of these types of figurative
language in fantasy literature in certain aspects of literary sensations will be
useful.
