The Ironic Picture of the Society in the Work of Geoffrey Chaucer and Graham Greene
 LINDUŠKA, František
This diploma thesis deals with the ironic concept of the society in the texts of two great and important, yet historically very different figures, Geoffrey Chaucer and Graham Greene. Despite this historical difference, the thesis aims at the discovery of similarities in the expression of their personal attitudes towards the society in the particular period. In Chaucer's case we discuss the late-medieval English society, which stands on the edge of a new historical era and is a part of a great social change in the history of humankind. Greene's social picture is more oriented on the individual human being fighting with the modern world of the 20th century and experiencing the existential crisis caused by the two world wars. We try to follow the ironic voice that is reflected in the work of both authors and thus creates a significant character of their texts. The aim of this thesis is to find a common topic, which would mirror their ironic voice in the context of social criticism.
