Victimization in Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin
Tomanová, Michaela ; Topolovská, Tereza (advisor) ; Chalupský, Petr (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to explore the theme of victimization in Margaret Atwood's novel, The Blind Assassin. The theoretical part of the work presents two theories elaborating on this topic. The first Atwood outlined herself in Survival, her influential book about Canadian literature. The second one is Trauma and Recovery by Judith Herman, which highlights the role of post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of abuse, often in the victim's childhood. In the practical part, Atwood's widely acclaimed 2000 novel, The Blind Assassin, is interpreted through the prism of these two theories.

Maříková, Šárka ; Knotková - Čapková, Blanka (advisor) ; Jiroutová Kynčlová, Tereza (referee)
In my diploma thesis I deal with gender and archetypal analysis of the novella Penelopiad by Canadian author Margaret Atwood. Firstly, I will introduce the chosen methodology and outline the theoretical anchoring. In the theoretical part, I am going to focus on women's writing and reading, as well as resistant reading and feminist critique of archetypes. In the analytical part I deal with application of these theories on individual characters of the Penelopiad. I follow individual female characters and I pay attention to male characters only marginally and especially in relation to women. I focus on the relationships and ties that Atwood works with and on the men's influence on women and women among themselves. I watch the stratification of power and how it is affected, for example, by the beauty myth or the struggle for dominant masculinity. Keywords: The Penelopiad, archetypes, archetypal analysis, power, resistant reader, trickster, victimization
