Waiting for Godot with Cat on the Rails (Formal and Thematic Overlaps of the Samuel Beckett's Play in the Play by Josef Topol)
Kykalová, Kateřina ; KYSELOVÁ, Eva (advisor) ; MUSILOVÁ, Martina (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the formal and thematic overlaps of the Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot in the play Cat on the Rails by Josef Topol. Through a comparison of both texts the work finds similarities and differences in their genres, composition, dialogue, language, time and space, layout and characteristics of the characters, theme and individual motives. An initial impetus for its creation was an identification of the same basic situation of waiting in both plays and a theme of rootlessness of human existence, which speaks through the two central couples which always complement each other by their contrasting temperaments. Gradually, however, the work finds also a fundamental difference of the texts, namely the location of dramatic conflict, which divides Évi and Véna in Cat on the Rails while in Waiting for Godot it stands between the two vagrants and a bleak human destiny.

Součková, Kateřina ; ETLÍK, Jaroslav (advisor) ; DROZD, David (referee)
Bachelor thesis Dramatic text as an ideological direction deals with an impulses, which can offer a dramatic text to a dramatic piece without endanger an autonomy neither of them. In order to find the ideological direction, it uses an explication as a "technological reading" of dramatic text, which is trying to discover its own motif-thematic structure without interpreted it. It analyses a charakter and a function of components of dramatic text, their mutual relation and their relation with a dramatic piece. This theoretic basis is being examinated by the explication of The Cherry Orchard by A. P. Chekhov. The motifs and the themes of this drama are confronted with the production of The Cherry Orchard at Theatre on the Balustrade in Prague. On grounds of this comparison it tries to find out, how much is connected the relation of their basic themes with the relation between a dramatic text and a dramatic piece in general.
