Woman and The Witches' Sabbath
Hlaváčová, Kateřina ; Dluhoš, Marek (advisor) ; Kostičová, Zuzana (referee)
This bachelor thesis follows the development of the myth of Sabbath as it was created by Christian demonologists in the last centuries of the Middle Ages. It tries to trace its mythical roots and influences of older pre-Christian traditions. It begins with medieval theories of conspiracy which caused the persecution of lepers in France at the beginning of the 14th century and ends with great European hunters, whose justification was based on the belief in the mysterious witches gathering. I assume from the thesis of the Italian historian Carlo Ginzburg, who considered the Witches Sabbath to be transformed idea of the conspiracy of lepers, on which were grafted demonized pagan motives and the new conception of the devil, which crystallized at the end of the Middle Ages. I also try to interpret the motives of the Sabbath as the projections of the social taboos, which had in the centre figure of woman. From this perspective, I evaluate the figure of the devil, who became the shadow of the society at that time.
Character of pilot in the writings by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
ŠIMONOVÁ, Kristýna
This thesis focuses on the research of the pilot´s character in chosen writings by the French author. While we can divide his writings into both historical and cultural context there is also an analysis of the pilot´s characterization together with the main themes contained in the writings. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who was an aviator and script writer but primarily an author, has come under the scrutiny of many biographers and movie adaptations so that Saint-Exupérys' legacy remains alive. The Little Prince is probably the writers' most famous work and although his others writings are comparable with The Little Prince, these have been overshadowed by the work. A lot of attention has been paid to Saint-Exupéry´s conception of morality, fear and death which are topics united into the pilot´s character and so it is interesting to mark out the main typical features. This thesis analyses and compares individual writing and identifies the common features which creates a simplified model of the pilot. If possible, the model will be compared with the author and we will mark his function in the tale together with his influence on readers.
