Female Characters and the Relationship of Women to Children in Roald Dahl's Children's Fiction
BUBLOVÁ, Kateřina
The aim of the Bachelor thesis is a literary analysis of the characteristics of female characters in Roald Dahl's work for children's readers. Roald Dahl became known as the author of grotesque prose for adults, and his work for children is characterized by black humour, hyperbole, grotesque elements and some controversy of his works (The Witches, George's Marvellous Medicine, etc). The work will firstly introduce Roald Dahl and his work in different categories of readers (children and adult readers) and then will deal with the topic of the author's anti-feminist approach to female characters, especially in Dahl's prose The Witches. The theoretical basis of the work will compare the concept of female characters in the classic fairy tale by Grimm Brothers (Bettelheim) and the characteristics of female characters in Dahl's work for children's readers. The practical part of the work will further assess the influence of role models and model characters on the child reader in Dahl's work for children, including possible controversies in the reading and interpretation. The role of humour, hyperbole and grotesque will be the subject of final analysis within my research as part of the Bachelor thesis.

Fairy tales in the world of a preschool child
ŠIMKOVÁ, Sabina
The topic of this bachelor´s thesis is traditional fairy tale in the life of preschool children. The goal of this paper is to explore how can traditional fairy tale narration compete with the cultural pressure of modern mass-produced fantasy movies and TV shows for children and if it is a viable way to spark their interest and gain their trust. In the theoretical part I focus on traditional fairy tales and related narrative art. I also mention the psychological impact of fairy tales on preschoolers. In the practical part I analyzed fairy tale heroes and interviewed a sample of twenty two children aged over five years. Following that I organized a project focused on a traditional Czech fairy tale "Zlatovláska" which I presented to the children both by narration and by methods of experiential education. After two weeks I repeated the interviews and measured all changes in the children's favorite heroes.

Aim: My thesis shall reveal which form of fairy-tales is the favourite one for preschool children. My effort is to find out which styles of fairy tales children return to. Solution: I applied qualitative method of interviewing children about the read fairy-tale for my survey. Continually, I used the method of participant observation while monitoring the interest in artwork contained in books. Subsequently, children selected the favourite books. The method of participant observation was applied again in this part. Results: Through the realized survey, I found that a classic fairy-tale is an unsubstitutable element in children development. However, it must be presented in such a language form which is comprehensible for children. Illustrations accompanying the story are very useful. Author's fairy-tale affects children very significantly so it is necessary to choose topics of appropriate quality. Both types of fairy-tales are indispensable factors for proper development of intellectual, emotional and ethical part of child's character and they are interesting and stimulating for children. Benefits of the thesis: The results of the thesis allow organizing and realizing activities in nurseries in a way that is suitable and valuable for children.

The practical section is a qualitative research comprising the following research questions: How do fairy tales influence the child ´s personality and behaviour according to parents and psychologists? What role do fairy tales play in the parents' and psychologists' lives? Are there any differences between traditional and modern fairy tales? How do psychologists work with fairy tales during their therapy sessions? What position does a traditional fairy tale have in a contemporary family? Twelve respondents, six psychologists and six parents of primary school children, were interviewed in the research. The data were collected by semi-structured interview and further processed by initial coding. The aim of the thesis is to find out what importance is assigned to fairy tales by the respondents and how fairy tales have influenced the respondents' lives and the lives of their children and clients. The respondents attached great importance to fairy tales in the field of emotions, moral development of children's personality, and formation of their system of values. Then, they put emphasis on formation of the relationship between the story-teller and the listener, and also on joy and escape from sometimes difficult reality. At the same time, however, it was found out that in some families, traditional fairy tales are replaced by modern stories and television production.
