 KRAUTOVÁ, Lucie
The aim of this thesis is to analyze Mark Twain's novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as a reflection of social attitudes during the American Civil War and the period of reconstruction in the American South. The first part of the thesis will focus on the characteristics of the postwar Reconstruction period and the social atmosphere of the South at the end of the Civil War. Secondly, the thesis will introduce Mark Twain in the context of Southern prose of the second half of the 19th century and evaluate the significance of Mark Twain as one of the first authors of modern American literature regarding his style, narrative, and inspiration by regional context (so-called tall tale). The motifs of the historical context and a realistic depiction of the postwar period in the Missouri region will be the object of the thesis analysis, especially in Twain's novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, concentrating on themes of equality, slavery, and inner freedom of an individual. The core of the thesis will focus on the interpretative analysis of the role of satire and tragicomic elements in the novel.
