The main aim is to examine their personalities and find out if there exists any ideal prototype of independent conservative woman according to Christie, and if it develops throughout her work. The first part of the thesis including first three chapters examines her political views, opinions and the author’s life. It focuses on her attitudes towards social roles and social change taking place in the time of her most creative period. The third chapter deals with the question if the characters possess any stereotypes or distinctive attributes, according to which we could divide the female protagonists into a few general categories. The second part consisting of the remaining chapters focuses on analysis of particular female protagonists from selected detective novels of Agatha Christie. There are two novels picked from each period of her work: from the early novels to the latest published ones. The analysis is focused on the personalities and their attributes rather than on the plot. RESUMÉ Bakalářská práce se zaměřuje na zobrazení ženských postav v díle Agathy Christie. Hlavním cílem je zkoumat jejich osobnost a zjistit, zdali existuje určitý ideální prototyp nezávislé konzervativní ženy dle Christie a zdali se i vyvíjí během její tvorby. První část práce zahrnující první tři kapitoly zkoumá autorčini politické názory, postoje a její život. Zaměřuje se na její přístup k společenským rolám a změnám v společnosti které se dějí během její tvorby. Třetí kapitola se snaží najít odpověď na otázku, jestli její ženské postavy vlastní určité stereotypy nebo výrazné vlastnosti, podle kterých by jsme je mohli rozdělit do určitých všeobecných kategorií. Druhá část skládající se ze zbývajících kapitol analyzuje jednotlivé konkrétní ženské postavy z vybraných detektivních románu Agathy Christie. Vybrané jsou vždy dva romány z každého její obdoby tvorby, od nejranějších po ty nejpozději publikované. Analyzovány jsou spíše jednotlivé postavy jako samotný obsah a děj. Download 148.5 Kb.
