THE ROLE OF GIANT HEROES IN LITERATURE

Abstract

We will look briefly at the realm of monsters, giants, spirits, and ghosts in English literature and this also is devoted to the role of  folklore in early childhood. This article aims to encourage awareness of the literary traditions that exist, and the huge number of creatures from whom ideas can be derived. The underlying belief is that one will write better by studying the provenance of ideas and their past development. One can then build on what has been said before and extend and improve it in a logical way. Past history and present imagination will combine to increase dramatic effect.

Keywords
