This paper engages what Wendy Faris in Ordinary Enchantments: Magical Realism and the Remystification of Narrative documents as the |five irreducible elements| or characteristics of magical realism: magic, realism, the merging of |realms|, narrative contradictions, and the irregular portrayal of time, space and identity. Each of the elements are examined individually by assessing how they functions in the texts of Salman Rush die's Midnight's Children, Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis, Ben Jelloun's The Sand Child and Gabriel Martinez Marquez's |A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings.| By examining the genre in this light, we can see how magical realists narrative speaks to political and social issues, destabilizes modem realist narrative and makes people reevaluate political and social norms from a non-western, unconventional vantage point. Following the above analysis, we come to the conclusion that magical realism is a genre capable of powerful rhetorical force because it makes the reader question |the political and metaphysical definitions of the real by which most of us live| (Young and Hollaman 3). Also, by de-familiarizing us with a world that we have grown accustomed to, the narratives help us see the world, both politically and socially, with fresh eyes.
