Comparison of biblical motifs in the book and film adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia
FILIPOVÁ, Irena
The bachelor thesis deals with biblical motifs in the novel The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by Irish writer Clive Staples Lewis. The thesis will not only focus on their presence in the work but will also attempt to reflect on the contemporary and modern reception of the novel with regard to the chosen theme. It will then compare the book with the 1988 television series ('The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe', directed by Marilyn Fox) with the 2005 film adaptation of the same name (directed by Andrew Adamson) in the context of the use of biblical motifs and themes. The thesis aims to investigate whether the biblical motifs of the original text are reflected in the film adaptations, and to outline the development of the secularization of the perception of children's stories.
