Expansion of unreliability
Gatialová, Karolína ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Činátlová, Blanka (referee)
This thesis focuses on the notion of unreliability of a narrator. From the theoretical point of view, it challenges the category of unreliable narratorsas too broad and vague. It attempts to problematize the idea of a distinctive border line separating reliable and unreliable narrators via practical interpretative analysis of prototypes of narrators. Based on such analyses it claims that many of these narrators have been included in this category unjustifiably. Thus the category suffers from its expansive character and blurred meaning. The thesis perceives recognition of narrators based on binary opposition of reliable vs. unreliableas problematic; therefore the thesis also provides potential ways how to approach individual samples of narratives and their narrators. The thesis attempts to reduce growing the number of potential unreliable narrators via using other frames to describe their narrative functions.
Child Narrator Representing the Events of the WWII
Gatialová, Karolína ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)
The subject of this work is child narrator in connection with the category of unreliability. The main aim of the work is to point out that the children's narrator can't be perceived as unreliable, using the knowledge from chapters concerning specific child narrators in the works of Ladislav Fuks and Ota Pavel. The work emphasizes the fact that unreliability is conceived as deliberately misleading storytelling strategy. Further, the thesis shows how both narrators reflect the events of prewar times and the Events of the WWII and how they deal with them.
