Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies – Literature, grade: 1, 3, University of Frankfurt (Main), course: Make Good Art, language: English, abstract: “Privately, the eighty-first lord had hoped that by the time his end came upon him, six of the seven young lords at Stormhold would be dead, and but one still alive.” (Gaiman, 1999). This is how the Lord of Stormhold thinks about his children. Judging by this statement, the reader does not perceive him to be a loving, helpful father, but more like the head of a very dysfunctional family. Not only does the old lord wish for most of his sons to be dead, the brothers also commit fratricide. Still, the family of Stormhold is not the only flawed family. In fact most family structures in Stardust are damaged and faulty.
