    Abstract

    The present study entitled Breaking the Magic Code: Finding the Pattern of Goodkind’s Fantasy Fiction Wizard’s First Rule aims at identifying the pattern of the story through analyzing the fantasemes. It also attempts to investigate the ways the story constructs the logic of the secondary world.Utilizing a qualitative research particularly descriptive method, the present study adopts Nikolajeva’s (1988) fantasy theory as its major theoretical framework. The study found that the fantasy story construction in the novel is presented through combination of fantasemes. From the analysis of the fantasemes it is clear that the story utilizes a pattern linear to common fantasy fiction, however it also creates a new pattern. Similar to other fantasy stories, this story has a character traveling and leaving home, challenged and helped, performing a task and gaining triumph. The differences are in the absence of primary world which is replaced by heterotopias. The story constructs the logic of the secondary world through following magic laws, namely limitation and consistency. The fantasy story of Wizard’s First Rule also shows that Goodkind as the author transforms myth and fairy tales to fantasy fiction which is more modern.
    Keywords: fantasy, fantasemes, the magic space, the magic time, the magic passage, the magic impact
