The diploma thesis explores the image of religious characters, religious customs and thus also moral values in the works of Fran Saleški Finžgar. In the thesis I analyze three works set in the countryside: Dekla Ančka, Beli ženin and Boltežar, as well as two fairy tales: Hudobni Potepin and Kvartopirčev sin. The analysis focuses on selected characters, their inner experience of faith, and how they confront questions of good and evil through faith. The thesis also explores how Finžgar, as a priest, introduces religious elements into his narratives. The thesis also discusses religious symbolism and hidden meanings that the author has added to his work and asks what role these elements play for the modern reader. The aim of the thesis is to show that Finžgar's works, despite their distance in time, are still relevant and address the reader with questions of religion and morality.
