Once Upon a Time, or, Fairy-tale motives in The Witcher?
HRADECKÁ, Simona
Bachelor thesis is dedicated to the fantasy cycle The Witcher, written by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. Thesis points out fairy tale motives. Andrzej Sapkowski has inspired himself by other worldwide known writers, such as brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen or Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont. These motives are most evident in the part of the cycle regarding the stories. Thesis focuses on stories in which are individual fairy tale motives very apparent and on those where the motives are seen only marginally. The main source for my bachelor thesis are classical fairy tales, Andrzej´s Sapkowski´s stories and scientific publications defining the genre of fantasy and fairy tales. First part of the thesis is dedicated to both of the literature genres, where their general characteristic is outlined. Bachelor thesis serves as a basic reflection of the fairy tales motives in The Witcher, by which Andrzej Sapkowski has inspired himself in classical fairy tales and incorporates them into concrete stories.
