Unreliability in Narration
HAVLOVÁ, Zuzana
The bachelor thesis is primarily focused on the aspects of unreliable narration in literature and deals with its characterization and assessment. It presents several theoretical expositions of unreliability accompanied by the analysis of the chosen literary illustrations demonstrating the discussed issues on the concerete samples. The indidvidual insights display that unreliability in naration is marked with disunity of opinion and a number of different attitudes. These facts result in substantially diverse interpretations of the particular literary works when apllying different criteria connected with distinct scholarly approaches. Simultaneously, the discrepancy of estimations and the thesis in general reflect dynamics, attractiveness and variety of this narratological category.
