Fairy Tales - Non Fairy Tales (Irony and Satire in the works of I. Dankova and O. Friedrich)
VEJŠICKÁ, Martina
The subject of this thesis titled Fairy Tales - Non Fairy Tales (Irony and Satire in the works of I. Dankova and O. Friedrich) is unveiling fairy-tale motifs utilized in books intended for adults. The main task was to dismantle two works of mentioned authors and compare them. In the theoretical part of the thesis I deal with the fairy tale in general, history and I also occupied with dividing the folk and literary fairy tale, including subtypes of these two basic types. Other chapters are devoted just to the South Bohemian Region, which both writers come from and were inspired by this region. Last but not least, I deal with a creation of fairy tales intended for adult readers, after that with the definition of irony and satire, and at the very end of the theoretical part I devoted to life and work of these two authors. The practical part is based on the analysis of two selected books, specifically Machorek from Ilona Dankova and Bedtime Stories star from Olga Friedrich. My task was to bring briefly all stories closer, characterize the main characters, find fairy-tale motifs, and finally highlight components of irony and satire. At the very end I summarize both works, compare them in terms of language and evaluate which one of two authors complied with their task better.
