Depiction of children in folk and art fairy tales
Zálešáková, Eva ; Weinberg, Manfred (advisor) ; Zbytovský, Štěpán (referee)
This thesis deals with analysis of the characters of children in selected folk and art fairy tales in German Romanticism of the 19th century. First of all, the term ʻfairy taleʼ will be explained along with its history and research. After that the European folk and art fairy tales and their differences will be defined. In the following chapter, the character of the child in the folk fairy tale ʻMarienkindʼ (which is the part of the brother Grimms' fairy tales collection Kinder- und Hausmärchen) will be compared with the character of the child in the art fairy tale ʻZwerg Naseʼ (written by Wilhelm Hauff). The thesis will concentrate both on external and internal profile of the child and on living conditions and family constellations in which the children are depicted. Moreover, the moral ideas that are mediated by behaviour will be analysed. The most important subject of this thesis is to show the differences in the depiction of children in the folk and art fairy tales and thereby to prove that the art fairy tale is separate literary genre.

This connection is often assumed, especially in the critical editions of the works of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, as well as in some literary handbooks. Nevertheless, these assumptions often lack clear explanations. Regarding the methods of proving or disproving these theories mentioned above, I have drawn on all accessible theoretical works, analysing (mainly German) influences on the works of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer. I also found it pertinent to view the works of both authors throughout time and place, in an attempt to identify analogies not only in the world of literature, but also in their real lives. Last but not least, I have tried to apply my own critical analysis to selected poems and legends of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer to support the theoretical works with concrete examples. Concluding from the evidence of their contemporaries, as well as from the theoretical works of the literary critics, I have confirmed that neither Heine nor Bécquer had mastered the other language.
