Magic Illusion Games
"Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Ray Bradbury?
I just read this book. I have a question for any literary afficianados who have read it. I think the idea of the book was that evil does not really have any power beyond the power we give it. If people refuse to be hypnotized by the evil, power is dissipates. All of the carnival characters actually have the power they wanted. Only people were beaten and pretend to be more miserable than they were. As soon as the father of Will explained the game, it withers. However, the Merry Go Round really made people age or less when traveling in it. How to reconcile the idea that magic is only an illusion in the minds of people with the fact that the Merry Go Round really magic? The power of the Merry Go Round was real. That does not seem to fit with the idea of the book. Please to explain.
Good question. I think the basic premise stabbed in the head. But as often happens with Bradbury, below our reality and hidden truths, not like a magic that is within us all. It's what keeps us from getting "old." I suspect The Merry-Go-Round is "real" magic no more a symbol of our efforts to retain our youth.
