Abstract
The article deals with realization of metaphor, which is regarded as a mechanism of constructing fantastic images and plots. The realization destroys the typical conventionality of incompatible properties combination in a metaphor and turns a mental projection into a piece of the objective reality. The possibilities of this method in fantastic literature are exemplified by R. Bradbury’s short stories, where the realization of metaphors functions as an element of a linguistic game, as a mechanism of images construction, and as an original plot device.
