This master thesis examines the role of Mary Magdalene in Slovenian literature. The main aim of the thesis was to explore the role of the Bible interpreters on the creation of the image of Mary Magdalene and investigate if these interpretations affected how she is portrayed in the literature. Findings presented in this thesis show that the interpreters of the Bible had a huge influence on different types of arts presenting Mary Magdalene as a great sinner. It is documented that the image of Mary Magdalene as the sinful woman has gradually changed across the world in the 21st Century, but it still persists in Slovenia.
