The image of jungle in the novels The Vortex by José Eustasio Rivera and Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
Schürgerová, Johana ; Poláková, Dora (advisor) ; Housková, Anna (referee)
The goal of this bachelor's thesis was to focus on the image of the rainforest in the roman The Vortex (La vorágine) by Jose Eustasio Rivera and then to compare it with the african jungle where is set the novelle Heart of Darkness by Johseph Conrad. The object of exploring were the effects of the environment on the characters,too. We observed changes in their behaviour and of their actions in the wilderness. In the end, we have shown the historical events that went down in history as gross abuses of human rights and, subsequently, we analyzed the motives of exploitation of both man and nature in both works.

Moral Message of Heart of Darkness from the Point of View of Its Contemporary Adaptations
Živný, Vilém ; Topolovská, Tereza (advisor) ; Chalupský, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis compares Joseph Conrad's famous novel Heart of Darkness to its movie adaptation Apocalypse Now and to its video game adaptation Spec Ops: The Line. It is mainly focused on thematic similarities, since both adaptations are loose and modernized versions of the original story. In analyzing primarily the theme of imperialism in each of the select works, the thesis uncovers the reasons for updating the settings and plot for the adaptations. It demonstrates how the theme of imperialism is presented to new audiences and the way in which each adaptation approaches the theme. The thesis studies each concerned work from an ethical standpoint.
