Masculinity and its Crisis in the work of E. Hemingway, K. Kesey and Ch. Palahniuk
 HOFFMANN, Daniel
The diploma thesis sets out to analyse and compare the portrayal of masculinity and its crisis in the novels The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey and Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. Firstly, it defines masculinity as gender and it introduces the fundamental theoretical framework for gender analysis. The thesis focuses on gender and its key aspects, the relation of gender and human physiology, the theories of gender acquisition and the basic perspectives of understanding masculinity. After that, the thesis describes the concepts of hegemonic and toxic masculinity, followed by the debate about masculinity crisis as a political category and individual identity. The literary analysis of each novel introduces the life of the author as well as his literary and historical context. Initially, it analyses each male character separately so that it can later conclusively describe the ten examined key aspects of masculinity and its crisis in the novel. After the analysis of each novel, the thesis presents their comparison put in the historical context.
