Abstract

In literature, sometimes it happens that the relationship between reality and fiction has no boundary, instead, it's complimentary. This study is inspired by the attempt to identify the essential elements of fantasy and irony in Corviale, una favola Romana, a short story by the well-known Italian author, Antonio Manzini, included in the Short Story Collection Storie dalla città eterna published by Sellerio.
The paper will focus on the literary imaginary elements found within the fantasy genre and will seek to point them out in Manzini’s short story. In this case, a direct reference theory will be Propp's Narrative Theory proposed in his famous book, Morphology of the Folktale, regarded as the first work of literary structuralism in which he uses the concept of invariance to analyze the structural similarities that underlie the diversity of folktales, arguing that all narratives are constructed with a fixed repertory of narrative elements or “functions”.
