20.500.12556/DKUM-76989 Scapegoats in The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, The Lathe of Heaven and The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin Grešni kozli v Tisti, ki zapustijo Omelas, Nebesna stružnica in Leva roka teme Ursule K. Le Guin This thesis explores scapegoats and scapegoating practices from their origins as a prominent biblical ritual of purification, to their social adaptation in modern-day societies – I research how scapegoats turned from ceremonial animals to a social metaphor for people. The rite initially represented the community’s symbolic removal of sins by the suffering goat, which re-affirmed people’s faith in elimination of all evil and enabled them to resume their everyday lives. The whole practice was reshaped over time, as the scapegoating shifted from animals to humans, where the latter seek scapegoats among themselves, primarily to renew the sense of their community and to cast out any evil from it. The scapegoat archetype is, therefore, still relevant today, as its development over the past centuries evolved into a convenient rationalization of faults against innocent individuals in various societies. The second part of this thesis is further divided into analysis of three literary works; ‘’The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas’’, The Lathe of Heaven and The Left Hand of Darkness, one short story and two novels written by Ursula K. Le Guin, where the scapegoat archetype is explored and highlighted through four characters, which, on the basis of innocent suffering, round up realities that question the reader’s moral compass. Središče obravnave našega magistrskega dela je grešni kozel. Gre za pojav, ki primarno izvira iz judovskega religioznega rituala žrtvovanja, danes pa je to izraz za žival ali osebo, ki je po krivici obtožena. Zaključno delo je razdeljeno na dva dela: v teoretičnem delu so predstavljene definicije, izvor in razvoj pojava grešnega kozla od starodavnega religioznega obreda do družbenega koncepta grešnega kozla, kot ga poznamo danes, drugi del pa predstavlja analizo treh literarnih del avtorice Ursule K. Le Guin, v katerih se pri različnih likih pojavljajo značilnosti grešnega kozla. scapegoat the scapegoat archetype ritual sacrifice grešni kozel arhetip grešnega kozla ritual žrtvovanje true true false [A.
