Use of Symbolism in Selected Works of William Golding
Kopečná, Kateřina ; Chalupský, Petr (advisor) ; Topolovská, Tereza (referee)
This diploma thesis is concerned with the use of symbolism in three selected novels by William Golding, Pincher Martin, The Spire and The Double Tongue. The theoretical part presents a brief biography of the writer and outlines theoretical background of literary symbolism, focusing especially on Northrop Frye's Theory of Symbols and the psychoanalytic perspective. It is concluded by listing sources of inspiration behind the selected Golding's works, taking his own experiences as well as literary influences into account. The practical part begins with characterization of Golding's use of symbols in general, including his methods, recurring topics and symbolic patterns. Its main part focuses individually on the three chosen books, in the order of their publication. Each section analyses symbolism of setting of the story and the protagonists' names, symbolic imagery, and it seeks for Christian and psychoanalytic symbols. In addition, it presents possible interpretations of other significant symbols occurring in the particular novel. The use of symbolism is put in context with outer influences to show the variety of topics and specificity of the author's style.

Myth in French classicist tragedy and in poetry and prose of symbolists
Loskot, Tomáš ; Listíková, Renáta (advisor) ; Ébert-Zeminová, Catherine (referee)
This thesis deals with how a myth is approached and treated by two different literary movements, namely the classicism and the symbolism. The main aim of this thesis is to compare the shift of meaning and function of the myth in its literary renditions. The works on which we will try to demonstrate these differences are Phèdre by Jean Racine as for the classical movement, and Thésée by André Gide as for the symbolist movement. The thesis poses questions regarding the purpose of these respective literary interpretations and centres around the hypothesis that the classical work focuses on inspiring terror and pity, while the myth as treated by the symbolists seems to serve rather as a dialogue with oneself. Moreover, symbolists perceive the myth's archetypal content to be more suitable in expressing the essential, in accordance with the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, while the classical period is much more preoccupied with Antiquity and follows strictly the rules as established in Aristotle's Poetics. The theoretical part of the thesis concentrates on the definition and delimitation of the keywords, as well as describing the different kinds of myths. It also gives a brief outline of the respective literary movements. The analytical part deals with what the authors wanted to express through the...

Allegory of fashion (Luisa Zikova's Case)
Chochrunová, Ivana ; Heczková, Libuše (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
This bachelor thesis concentrates on the issue of the relationship of fashion and literature in the period of fin de siècle. The allegory of fashion, as it was brought to life by Charles Baudelaire in "The Painter of Modern Life and Other Essays" and subsequently developed by Oscar Wilde, is one of the results of Luisa Zikova's analysis, the prematurely deceased writer of the 90s of the 19st century. This thesis follows the overall change in the literary methods based on the analyses of her short stories, both published and from estate, in the relation to categories of transiency and permanency, outside and inside, consciousness and unconsciousness. It will stem from the theoretical and historical principles of the Czech modernism of Petr Málek, Michal Topor, Robert Pynset and others.
