-

Fantasy Literature and Christianity: Morality in J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit
-
Sanja Pavić J. R. R. Tolkien is widely considered to be the father of modern fantasy. His efforts to prove to his readers that fairy stories do not belong exclusively to childrens literature and his revolutionary style of creating the myths in his stories have paved the way for many other contemporary fantasy novels. He has incorporated his devout Christian beliefs into his stories and characters, which captivate numerous readers even decades after his death. Tolkien believed that the only true myth is...

Faszination mit dem Bösen in Manns Erzählung "Mario und der Zauberer"
-
Mateja Cindrić Das Thema dieser Abschlussarbeit ist die Faszination mit dem Bösen, wie sie exemplarisch in Thomas Manns Erzählung Mario und der Zauberer und in Nietzsches Schrift Also sprach Zarathustra dargestellt und bearbeitet wird. Die Ursachen und das Wirken des Bösen sind bis zu dem heutigen Tag schwer zu erklären. Die Faszination des Menschen mit dem Bösen geht meiner Meinung nach aus der Neugier und Attraktivität des Bösen hervor, was auch die Grundthese dieser Arbeit ist. Der...

Fatalna žena realizma na primjeru Flaubertove Emme Bovary
-
Ivana Hodak Ovaj završni rad pisan je u svrhu povezivanja stereotipizacije ženskoga lika nastale u razdoblju romantizma, a koja se nastavila u razdoblju realizma s romanom Gustava Flauberta Gospođa Bovary. Rad ukazuje na problem stvaranja dvaju polova ženskih likova što nije primjereno razdoblju realizma. Kako je poznato, cilj je realizma opisati stvarno stanje zbilje upotrebljavajući likove i teme iz svakodnevnoga života. Stoga, crno-bijela karakterizacija nije najbolje rješenje u oblikovanju...

Fatalna žena u Šenoinim, Tomićevim i Kovačićevim romanima
-
Cassy Prskalo Lik fatalne žene pojavljuje se u razdoblju romantizma te se od tada može pratiti postupna evolucija ovoga lika koji svoj potpuni procvat doživljava u razdoblju hrvatskoga realizma. Šenoa u svome romanu Zlatarevo zlato predstavlja prototip fatalne žene u obliku lika udovice Klare. Iako se Klara smatra prototipom fatalne žene u hrvatskoj književnosti, u njezinoj osobnosti nisu u potpunosti utjelovljene sve značajke femme fatale. Josip Eugen Tomić nastavlja Šenoinu tradiciju...

This paper will compare three characters from each series, first introducing the general idea about women in both authors works, but before delving into analyses about women...

Female and Male Conversational Style
-
Rebecca Danko Female and male conversational styles are influenced by a number of things such as their social roles, their ethnicity, patterns they acquired in the childhood and many more. Concerning their social roles and statuses, women are mainly connected to the domestic unit and are supposed to take care of it. Their status is typically more bound, and that is why some authors, like R. Lakoff, hypothesize that this is the reason for their being more careful when it comes to speech and behavior....

Feminism in Theory and Practice: Where Did It All Go Wrong?
-
Katarina Šijaković Feminist ideas date as far back as 1792, when Mary Wollstonecraft’s essay A Vindication on the Rights of Women was published. In her essay, Wollstonecraft advocates for a better education of women and she also criticizes the portrayal of women as being in the perpetual state of childhood promoted in works such as Rousseau’s Emile, or On Education (1762). Women’s suffrage movement began in the first half of the eighteenth century both in Britain and the USA. Feminism defies the...
