The Dark Side of Comicality in the Plays of Jára Cimrman
 VITOŇ, Jan
The bachelor thesis will focus on definition and decoding of main elements, that are connected to humor and to concept of comedy as it is. It also strives to capture those elements in creations of the Jára Cimrman Theatre. At the same time it endeavors to befall the elemets, that stand on the opposite pole than the idea of "gentle humor", which is usually highlighted in relation with poetry of said plays (and also with whole work of author Zdeňek Svěrák). The thesis focuses on the means by which is in the comedy of Jára Cimrman Theatre represented female character, character of monster, obscenity, voyeurism and vulgarity. It aims to show that even plays from the pen of Ladislav Smoljak and Zdeněk Svěrák bear in themselves something wicked. Thesis shall as well in a spirit of cultural history ask itself a question about conection between this thematic part with cultural tradition, whose roots are probably in what people admired in 19. century during circus "freak show", during which they were offered a deviant spectacle full of monsters and handicapped people.
