Problem of human identity in the work of Federico García Lorca in the context of crisis of Europian thinking
Byronová, Lucie ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (advisor) ; Housková, Anna (referee)
The thesis focuses on two plays and one poetry collection by Federico García Lorca; El público, Así que pasen cinco an͂ os and Poeta en Nueva York, which together form the New York cycle and represent a new and unique phase in his compositions both from the point of view of content and form.

The topics of love and theatre are essential in the play. However, in contrast to other Lorca's dramatic works, The Public deals with homosexual love which is socially inacceptable and thus produces an internal conflict in the majority of the protagonists. The problematics of the theatre is a subject of conflict too; the urge to renovate the dramatic scene encounters the fear of the possible negative reaction of the audience. The plot of the play thus develops on the personal and on the social level in the same time while the both levels meet in the central motifs of the play, such as the theatre beneath the sand and the open air theatre or the mask. The thesis attempts to interpret these motifs and subsequently to emphasise the richness of meanings in the play. Attention is paid also to the image of audience in the drama and to the manner in which Lorca applies the...
