Therefore, thesis analyzes and compares different literal and film renderings of the story based upon morfological composition of the fairy tale and motives and gender stereotypes present in it. Individual features of tales are then processed and divided on archetypal and changeable. Main character, the Cinderella , is also considered, and her common characteristic is documented within gender analysis for every version of the story. Thesis also deals with fairy tale in general, with its definition, characteristic and theory of origin. Fairy tale is then interpreted as a part of folklore creation and as a literary work.

Hupáková, Kateřina ; Šmahelová, Hana (advisor) ; Vaněk, Václav (referee)
This thesis focuses on the death motives in the chosen magic fairy tales of Karel Jaromír Erben and Božena Němcová. In the first part, the historical context of both authors's fairy tales origins is defined. The second part, which is the main focal point of this paper, analyses six fairy tales written by K. J. Erben and six written by B. Němcová using Propp's method of morphological analysis. These fairy tales are afterwards examined from two different perspectives: firstly by the function which corresponds with the motive of death in the fairy tale and secondly by the way the situation of the death is depicted in the given fairy tales. The gained information are compiled to create a commented typology of the different death motives. Together with summarizing the concurrences and differences of the death motives in the fairy tales of K. J. Erben and B. Němcová, this is the main goal of the thesis.
