Ljubezen in nasilje v Cankarjevi drami Kralj na Betajnovi in Shakespearovi tragediji Hamlet : diplomsko delo

Derčar, Špela (author), Smolej, Tone (mentor)

Svojo četrto dramo, z naslovom Kralj na Betajnovi, je Ivan Cankar napisal leta 1901, medtem ko je Shakespeare že približno tristo let prej napisal tragedijo Hamlet. Cankarjeva drama se odvija jeseni na malem trgu Betajnove, Shakespearova pa na danskem dvoru po smrti starega kralja. Na Betajnovi vlada zločinec Kantor, kateremu skuša njegov nasprotnik Maks onemogočiti nadaljnji zločinski pohod, medtem ko na Danskem vlada novi bratomorilski kralj Klavdij, ki se mu zoperstavi sin umorjenega kralja, Hamlet. Oba vladarja se poslužujeta nasilja, za ljubezen pa v njunem življenju praktično ni prostora. Deli sem z analizo motiva ljubezni in motiva nasilja, njunim vplivom na literarne osebe in dramsko dogajanje primerjala med sabo.

Abstract

Ivan Cankar wrote his fourth drama The King of Betajnova in 1901 while Shakespeare wrote his Hamlet for about three hundred years before. Cankar's drama takes place in a small square of Betajnova and Shakespeare's in the Danish royal court after the king's death. Kantor is a criminal who rules Betajnova. His opponent named Maks is trying to disable his further crimes. Claudius, the new king of Denmark, killed his brother and married his widow. Dead king's son Hamlet is trying to fix the injustice. Both kings are very violent and there's no place for love in their lifes. In my thesis I was occupying myself with the analysis of two motifs. I was comparing the motif of love and the motif of violence in both dramas, their influence on the characters and action.
