The Elements of Medieval Romance in C.S.Lewis´s Chronicles of Narnia
JÁNA, Martin
This thesis deals with the interpretation of Lewis' fantasy stories for children. The main attention is dedicated to the influence of the medieval romance and its crucial theme: the hero´s journey and adventure associated with the search for the source of life. The first chapters concentrate on the life experience of the author (the importance of literature and religion) and the general characteristics of romance as a genre. The main part of this thesis concentrates on the literary analysis, which includes the links between the traditional elements of romance and the elements of religious allegory (the themes of death and rebirth, emptiness and imagination, good and evil, man and God).
