Fantasy, as a genre, involves in some capacity a deviation from reality. Fantasy is not constrained to all the laws of reality and allows an author to create their own "world" with their own "rules". On one level, Fantasy can be used as an escape for the reader or author. The author can use fantasy as a metaphor for a aspect of reality.
Books and Movies (Trying not to be repetitive): The Castle of Otranto (Horace Walpole), Tuck Everlasting (Natalie Babbitt), Inheritance Cycle (Christopher Paolini), The Princess Bride (William Goldman), Kate and Leopold, Beauty and the Beast and other Disney princess movies
