Zadnik, Polona (author), Matajc, Vanesa (mentor)

V tem diplomskem delu obravnavam teorijo sodobnega fantazijskega romana, ki jo primerjalno apliciram na dva sodobna fantazijska romana: Imaginarni svetovi Edgarja Kaosa (2021) slovenske avtorice Julije Lukovnjak in Eragon (2002) ameriškega avtorja Christopherja Paolinija. Romana primerjalno analiziram skozi vidike obsega, odmika od dogovorne resničnosti, sloga, karakterja, zavedanja nestvarnosti, časa in prostora dogajanja ter kompleksnosti motivov. Navedene vidike nato osredinim na temo dobrega in zla v obeh romanih ter jih povežem predvsem z likom junaka in likom zmaja.

• Title: Comparison of two fantasy novels by Julija Lukovnjak and Christopher Paolini: Good and evil in Imaginary Worlds of Edgar Kaos, and Eragon

Abstract

In this thesis, I examine the theory of contemporary fantasy novels, which I apply comparatively to two modern fantasy novels: Imaginary Worlds of Edgar Kaos (2021) by Slovenian author Julija Lukovnjak and Eragon (2002) by American author Christopher Paolini. I analyse the two novels through the aspects of scope, deviation from consensual reality, style, character, awareness of unreality, time and place of events, and complexity of motives. I then focus on the mentioned aspects in the context of good and evil in both novels and connect them primarily to the heroic figure and the character of the dragon.
