Introduction

Literature has always been a reflection of society, presenting different perspectives and interpretations of reality. Realism and magical realism are two prominent literary movements that have shaped the way authors depict the world around them. Realism focuses on portraying everyday life as it is, while magical realism blurs the lines between reality and fantasy, creating a world where magical elements coexist with the ordinary.

This comparative study aims to explore the similarities and differences between realism and magical realism in literature, analyzing how each movement approaches themes such as identity, memory, and history. By examining key works from both traditions, this project seeks to deepen our understanding of how literature can illuminate the complexities of human experience.
