Schejbal, Michal ; Lukeš, Jiří (advisor)
The Mystery of the Woman and the Beast Rhetorical-Narrative Analysis of Revelation 17:1-18 This diploma thesis called "The Mystery of the Woman and the Beast" seeks to unveil the mysterious message of Revelation 17:1-18 by applying the rhetorical-narrative analysis to the text. This analysis entails a specific methodology drawn from the synthesis of both rhetorical and narrative criticism with special regard to persuasive features. The conception of the thesis is based on understanding the message of the text in its own right communicated primarily to its own implicit audience distancing itself from premature theologizing often done especially when dealing with the book of Revelation. Due to the narrative focus of the thesis, considerable space is devoted to analyzing apocalyptic literary tradition and literary aspects of the book itself. Attention is paid to the origin of the apocalyptic tradition as well as the nature of its genre together with its specific motifs and function. The book of Revelation is seen as a part of long-developing apocalyptic tradition sharing some common traits while still being original in its own right. The unique qualities of Revelation are then fully explored in the following chapter. Of particular importance are the genre, imagery, intertextuality, and structure of the book....

It demonstrates how the theme of imperialism is presented to new audiences and the way in which each adaptation approaches the theme. The thesis studies each concerned work from an ethical standpoint.

The Picture of the Post-Apocalyptic World in Contemporary Anglo-American Fiction
ANDĚL, Jiří
The bachelor thesis deals with the theme of apocalypse, its causes and consequences for civilization in sci-fi and horror novels written by Richard Matheson, John Wyndham, Simon Clark, David Brin, Stephen King and Cormac McCarthy. The introduction describes the term "apocalypse" and briefly characterises the genre of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction. The literary analysis focuses on individual works which develop the theme of the end or the beginning of the world and deal with post-apocalyptic aspects (adaptability, epidemic, a creation of a totalitarian regime, violence and death). Discussing the novels dealing with the post-apocalyptic theme, this thesis also mentions the theme of a potential threat of apocalypse (the feeling of threat) in the works written by Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker and Stephen King.
