Honour Codes in Fantasy Literature
This article portrays the coherence of ethics and the dichotomy honour/shame, and she shows how the fantastic in literature is highly relevant in exploring ethics in literature. Takle's argument is supported by examples from the Norwegian trilogy The Raven Rings (2013–2015) by Siri Pettersen and the Shamer Chronicle (2000–2003) by Lene Kaaberbøl. Takle also demonstrates why the fantasy genre may play an important educational role for the individual and for democracy.
