Textual interpretation of the Song of Roland
Kolářová, Monika ; Jančík, Jiří (advisor) ; Kalfiřtová, Eva (referee)
This MA thesis deals with the text analysis of the Song of Roland. The text analysis focuses in detail on the formal, content, narrative and symbolic aspects of the Song of Roland. All those features are in the context of the literary and historical frame. The Song of Roland is one of the oldest literary pieces of French literature. It is the most famous heroic song belonging to the "Chanson de geste" and it was created in the 11th century. The main characters of the heroic poem are Charles the great, his nephew Roland, loyal friend Olivier, traitor Galeon and pagan king Marsil. The Song of Roland explores not only the family and friend relations, but the important topics are also betrayal and desire for fortune and glory. The Song deals with the matter of faith being asserted in the way which is typical for the middle ages. The story, which takes part in Spain, where the French have been besieging the pagan fort of Zaragoza for seven years, is very interesting from the historical aspects, but were more interested in the narrative - textual aspects, in which we tried to explore the relationships between the narrators. We focused on individual speeches, who speaks to whom and in which way. We asked ourselves three questions, which we have gradually answered. For the need of an analysis of individual speech...

The Picture of Judas Iscariot in Contemporary Research and Cultural Contexts.
Poláková, Alžběta ; Lukeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Beneš, Jiří (referee)
This diploma thesis attempts to outline the image of Judas in a long-lasting tradition and follows the references of this character in canonical and non-canonical reports. It is an extension of the author's bachelor's thesis, which was dedicated to the analysis of biblical and Gnostic texts concerning the figure of Judas. For this reason, the author does not deal with a detailed analysis of these texts in this work and directly refers the reader to it (the work is available for inspection in the Repository of Final Theses of Charles University). The first chapters are devoted to reports from the Gospels and Paul's works, which the author serves primarily as a springboard for the introduction of various conceptions of the person of Judas, and which became the basis for the development of a tradition in the following centuries. In addition to canonical messages, the author encounters motives from non-canonical and apocryphal texts related to Judas, which have influenced the tradition of perception of one of Jesus' disciples to a similar extent. One of the subchapters is also devoted to the text of the Book of the Cock, which is not available in Czech, and to not very well-known topics that have not been very successful in the official church tradition. In the following chapters, the author identifies...

The Betrayal of Anne Frank
Donátová, Tereza ; Kubátová, Hana (advisor) ; Šmidrkal, Václav (referee)
This thesis focuses on the story of Anne Frank, her friends and family and how they were reported to the authorities, which resulted in their imprisonment in concentration camps and eventually death. The thesis includes an analysis and summary of information on possible traitors. In the thesis introduction, I am presenting information about police inspection of the Frank's family and friend's case, which was done in several stages. The paper is divided into three parts. The intention of the first part is to explain the situation in the Netherlands during the World War II., for both Jewish and non-Jewish citizens. There are informations about the low survival rate of the Jews in the Netherlands and I am also posing a question if in this case we can speak of guilt or innocence of the entire Dutch nation at that time. In the second part, we will find details about Anne Frank's family, about their life in Germany and their escape to the Netherlands, about their life before the war and during the war, first free and later in hiding. The third part contains information about possible traitors, theories that have arisen around these names and the most recent point of view on those historical events. In the thesis conclusion, I am summarizing the information from several authors and I am considering the...

Betrayal anticipation and experience in interpersonal relationships
Lačev, Alek ; Slaměník, Ivan (advisor) ; Šolcová, Iva (referee) ; Šípek, Jiří (referee)
"It's terrible. You can't trust anyone anymore." - Dawn Butler In this dissertation I concern myself with a phenomenon of betrayal within field of psychology. Despite the fact that examples of violations or betrayals of trust are manifold, relatively little theory exists regarding dynamics of trust, context-specific perception of betrayal or ability to predict violation of trust be- fore it actually happens. Overall there is significant gap in our knowledge about betrayal, despite its obvious prevalence in human behaviour. There are several approaches to betrayal ranging from evolutionary psy- chology to organizational psychology. Nevertheless this area lacks some unified approach and grasp of the problem. In my work I try to explore and build upon all these theories to answer following questions: (1) Is betrayal context-specific? Does certain context trigger perception of certain behaviour to be viewed as betrayal? (2) What role does intentionality play in perception of betrayal? In what contexts is intention even relevant? (3) Are we able to predict betrayal? Are there some emotional or communicational clues of upcoming betrayal? In the research part of this thesis I further examine betrayal in four differ- ent ways. I ask about colour-association to betrayal to examine their prevailing emotion...
