Myth and Literature: The Werewolf
Benešová, Anna ; Ébert-Zeminová, Catherine (advisor) ; Šuman, Záviš (referee)
anglicky: Title of the thesis: Myth and Literature: The Werewolf Keywords: myth, literature, mythology, mythodology, mythanalysis, mythocriticism, werewolf Abstract: This thesis deals with the relation between literature and myth. Literature transcribes the myth from a language of symbols to the language of literature. This process limits the multiplicity of meaning and the variety of renderings of a myth but at the same time makes it possible to preserve the elemental message and make it comprehensible for the socio-cultural reality of the author and subsequently for the reader. The objective of this thesis is to show on the example of the werewolf how a myth works in literature. After researching into the domain of mythology and mythocriticism, Gilbert Durand's method, called mythodology, was chosen as the principal route to approach the subject of this thesis. Mythodology comprises of two phases: mythanalysis and mythocriticism. The method is used for the study of the myth of the werewolf in four literary works from the different periods and of the different genres. In the final part are studied and analysed some socio-cultural consequences of the psychological nature of myth and its transcription into literature.

It is a complex of several dimensions (relationship to reading, literal understanding, deduction, metacognition, sharing and application). Each of the components is indispensable. Five reading books of the 9th year of elementary school from different publishers (SPN, New School, Fraus, Alter) were analyzed.

(anglicky): The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze women figures in veristic prose of Giovanni Verga into account of their behavior and their living. I am going to evaluate their actions and based of this I divide them into several groups according to role that they had occupied. Except of this, in the end, I am going to fine some correlation between women's typology and Verga 's Cykle of Defeated. In theoretical part we define literary stream whose representative is Giovanni Verga, then his four principal veristic Works. I support my statements in based of quotes and paraphrase of secondary literature. In analytical part I am going to introduce each heroine using key moments of their lives. I am going to work by myself to demostrate the biggest possible personal contribution using quotes of primary literature. I confirm my statements using work of Susan Amatangelo called "Figuring Women" subtitled "A Thematic Study of Giovanni Verga's Female Characters", which has influenced me the most. In conclusion I summarize all the knowledge and I divide female characters in universally applied groups.
