Variations on the Theme of Witchcraft in American Literature
 CRKVOVÁ, Simona
The aim of this thesis is a comparative analysis of American literature dealing with the topic of witchcraft and its variations. The theoretical part of the thesis gives information about the history of witchcraft, the Gothic literature, and the characteristics of magic. Furthermore, the thesis deals with the topic of witchcraft in British literature until the sixteenth century. The widest chapter of the theoretical part describes the history of Puritans arriving in America, the Salem witch trial, as well as the current witch movements in the USA. The analysis itself deals with three themes: the origin of magical powers of particular characters and their names; the manifestation of magical powers; and the question whether the stories contain the topic of the witch hunt.
