Mošnerová, Lenka ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (advisor) ; Kavková, Kateřina (referee)
The first part of the thesis will be devoted to the phenomenon of the "Dance of Death" (Danza de la muerte), which has become a characteristic feature of artistic and literary works, and which also reflects the society's view of death and of society itself in a time in which this phenomenon developed. The next part of the thesis will focus on particular literary works in which the motif of death is present, namely Jorge Manrique's poem Coplas a la muerte de su padre and the medieval Spanish poem Danza general de la muerte. The aim of the thesis is to analyse through the poems the society and its thinking about death, which, in the light of contemporary events in Europe, became one of the characteristic features of the late medieval period. Keywords: Death, society, Jorge Manrique, Danse Macabre, Coplas on the Death of His Father, Dance of Death, late Middle Ages, poetry
