The Readers' Reception of Roald Dahl's Books. Children and Adult Readers and Their Way to the Grotesque
MASLÁKOVÁ, Lucie
The aim of my bachelor thesis is a comparison of the grotesque in Roald Dahl's work intended for children and for adults. In the theoretical part the definition of the grotesque and black humour will be given in general. Subsequently, the next part will be dedicated to the comparison of the grotesque and black humour in Dahl's work for children and for adult readers. The core will include literary analysis of the grotesque in Dahl's poetry for children Revolting Rhymes, in short stories for adult readers Kiss, Kiss and analysis of prose Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In the practical part of the thesis, the topic of violence and literary hyperbole will be analysed as well as reception of film adaptations of Dahl's books.
