Abstract
Fantasy theme criticism extrapolates from fantasy chains in the small group, but Freudian theory is fundamental in Bales’ description of the chaining, and the phenomenon necessarily is transactional; in addition, Bales is not a true proponent of dramatism. Critics ignore or distort these features in their analyses. Moreover, they usually argue in circular fashion, assuming that they have isolated compelling social reality when they have described a dramatistic construct. These difficulties call the approach into question and demand a more serious argument from proponents.
