The crisis of everyday life in the novels A Rose of Flesh by Jan Wolkers and Seize the Day by Saul Bellow
Vítek, Lukáš ; Sedláčková, Lucie (advisor) ; Gielen, Albertus Josephus Dominicus (referee)
(English) The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyse how the phenomenon of a personal crisis is described in the novels A Rose of Flesh by Jan Wolkers and Seize the Day by Saul Bellow. To make it clearer that the crisis is an exceptional, painful but also potentially positive period of human life, the concept is contrasted with the notion/idea of "everyday life". Specifically, the author is comparing the impact of the states of anxiety that the protagonists of both novels experience in connection with their daily rituals and habits. Theoretically, the thesis offers a systematic explanation of the causes, the symptoms and the effects of a personal crisis, including an explanation of the anxiety and guilt. This is followed by an interpretation of both novels with regard to the tension between the ordinary and the unordinary. This interpretation demonstrates that the exposure to suffering in the crisis does not have to be permanent and that it can lead to the discovery of new ways out. This fact is made evident without the exit of a dark tunnel being shown. Keywords: psychological crisis, everyday life, existential problems, suffering, guilt, anxiety, panic disorder, the past, midlife crisis

The midlife crisis in the marriage of Christians
Svoboda, Jan ; Bartůšková, Ludmila (advisor) ; Opatrný, Aleš (referee)
The bachelor's thesis "The midlife crisis in the marriage of Christians" first describes in what lies the mid-life crisis in human life. It takes notice of general causes and differences in experiencing the crisis between men and women. This period is demanding for the relations between the spouses. Couples who live the Christian faith are not immune against crises, however it might be a challenge for them. They also must seek the ways how to come out of the crisis together. They have to fight for their faith and their marriage, which is in the stage of requiring a new qualitative deepening of the relationship. Wider possibilities of assistance are available to the Christian spouses, thanks to their faith. This thesis combines a psychological view of the crisis in the mid-life with the spiritual perspective of Christian spouses who are enduring this crisis, but who can draw strength for such a period from their faith.
