Prostitution in der Literatur um 1900 bei Hermann Sudermann, Arthur Schnitzler und Frank Wedekind

Pušnik, Nik (author), Samide, Irena (mentor)

Pričujoče magistrsko delo primerja tri besedila in hkrati njihove avtorje iz različnih literarnih obdobij. Predmet opazovanja pri besedilih so bila predvsem nezapisana družbena pravila in njihov vpliv na dostojanstvo in čast različnih družbenih slojev od prostitutke pa vse do grofa. Pri teh protagonistih so se pokazale razlike v dojemanju družbenih pravil in lastnega dostojanstva kot tudi ugleda v družbi. Pokazale so se tudi razlike in podobnosti v literarnih obdobjih in mišljenju avtorjev.

Abstract

The following Master’s Thesis compares three literary works and their authors, all originating from different literary periods. The subject of observation were mostly the subliminal rules of society and their influence on the perceived dignity and status of individuals from different social classes, ranging from prostitutes to the count himself. These protagonists have shown a contrasting understanding of social rules, their own dignity, and their status. Comparing the authors has shown many similarities and some differences in their thinking as well.
