Fatalna žena u Šenoinim, Tomićevim i Kovačićevim romanima
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...
Fear and Anxiety in Bram Stoker's Dracula
Fear and Anxiety in Bram Stoker's Dracula
Stipe Koprivnjak
Bram Stoker’s most known and most analyzed novel Dracula, written in 1897, has truly revolutionized the image of the vampire: from a monstrous blood-sucking demon to the charming and tantalizing nobleman – Count Dracula. The novel was not just written to change the image of the vampire but to use it as a symbol of the fears and anxieties of the Victorian era: the fear of the New Woman, overt sexuality and homosexuality as well as the anxiety of colonization of the British ideal of...

Female Characters in Fantasy: Comparison of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time
Jasmina Gagulić
Two authors, J.R.R.Tolkien and Robert Jordan, wrote novels that belong to the same genre, the fantasy literature. What they have in common, besides the genre, are female characters. While in Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings there are only a few female characters, Jordans The Wheel of Time is bursting with women characters. 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
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.

Feminism, Race, and Sexuality in the Twentieth Century Anglophone Literature
Feminism, Race, and Sexuality in the Twentieth Century Anglophone Literature
Tena Batković
In today’s world, the feminist movement is not just concerned with how gender affects one’s position in society. It rather wants to find out how gender, in relation to other social categories such as race and sexuality, affects one’s identity and shapes their experiences. In the twentieth century literature, many women writers have explored the question of identity in their works and connected it to the concepts of gender, race, and sexuality. The aim of this thesis is, therefore, to...

Feminist Thought in Literary Works of Mary Wollstonecraft and Jane Austen
Feminist Thought in Literary Works of Mary Wollstonecraft and Jane Austen
Karolina Juretić
Society’s treatment of men and of women was, and still is, vastly different. Feminism, as a social and political movement guided by the female experience, fights for women’s rights in order to make that difference non-existent. In the cornerstone of feminism titled A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), Mary Wollstonecraft describes women’s position in the society of her time by exposing an array of inaccurate beliefs regarding women’s nature and their capabilities,...
