 FRANKOVÁ, Nikola
The thesis deals with the interpretation of Series of Unfortunate Events written by an American author Lemony Snicket and Joanne K. Rowling´s story about Harry Potter. The analysis is focused on the moral and ethical aspects of individual motifs and symbols, as well as on the importance of human values in the behaviour of main characters. Some of the main protagonist were analysed according to their ability to spread good or evil, and therefore their influence on the young reader. The most important aspect was the good will of characters according to the principles of Lévinas' ethics while the self-sacrifice of the heroes is considered the highest moral value.

The Theme of Mystery in Lemony Snicket´s Series of Unfortunate Events
 FRANKOVÁ, Nikola
The thesis will deal with interpretation of popular work written by Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket) Series of Unfortunate Events with focus on a connection between the scrutinised stories and tradition of English Gothic novel, in wider consideration of a novel with mystery (Botting, Hodrová, Šklovskij). This theoretic and literary-historical context will be attended in the opening chapter. The main part focuses on the theme of mystery in the characters' characteristic as well as in the question of human nature and also in particular motifs (e.g. the meaning of initials V.F.D. [D.P.], motifs of the sugar bowl, poison and its antidote) and in the general atmosphere of uncertainty and danger. Special attention will be paid to the numerous intertextual references as well.
