20.500.12556/DKUM-81455 Death Personified: Comparison of Death’s Characterisation in Selected Literature and European Folktales master thesis Poosebljena smrt: primerjava značilnosti lika smrti v izbrani literaturi in evropskih pripovedkah = magistrsko delo This thesis analyses the character of Death in selected literary works based on Kastenbaum and Aisenberg’s typology of death’s personifications as set in 1972 (the Macabre, Gay Deceiver, the Automaton, Gentle Comforter), the attitudes presented within the texts, and how they compare to other contemporary portrayals of Death. The thesis focuses on eight literary works wherein death is personified through content analysis and the use of the comparative method, which showed multiple similarities among death personifications in terms of gender, appearance, manner of collecting the dead, and what attitudes are expressed towards the character. Death, when given a physical appearance, was predominantly male, with attributes reminiscent of the Grim Reaper. All personifications contained elements of the Macabre type (8 of 8), and none could be categorised under only one type. The second most represented type is the Automaton (4), followed by the Gay Deceiver (3), and Gentle Comforter (2). The thesis also included the addition of the Superhero – Comedic type by Cantù (2). These portrayals of death’s character correspond to ones present in contemporary works and implement traits from past depictions, including attitudes towards death, alongside their own unique interpretation. Naloga analizira lik smrti v izbranih literarnih delih na podlagi Kastenbaumove in Aisenbergove tipologije poosebitev smrti iz leta 1972 (grozljiva smrt oz. »Macabre«, veseli prevarant oz. »Gay Deceiver«, robotski lik oz. »Automaton« in nežni tolažnik oz. »Gentle Comforter«), analizira odnose do smrti, predstavljene v teh delih, in jih primerja z drugimi sodobnimi upodobitvami smrti. Naloga se osredotoča na osem literarnih del, v katerih je smrt poosebljena, s pomočjo analize vsebine in primerjalne metode, ki sta pokazali številne podobnosti med poosebitvami smrti, kar se tiče spola, videza, načina zbiranja umrlih in izraženih odnosov do tega lika. Kadar je smrt utelešena, je večinoma v podobi moškega, z atributi, ki spominjajo na okostnjaka s koso (»Grim Reaper«). Vse poosebitve so vsebovale elemente grozljive smrti (8 od 8), nobene pa ne moremo uvrstiti v en sam tip. Drugi najpogostejši tip je robotski lik (4), ki mu sledita veseli prevarant (3) in nežni tolažnik (2). Naloga omenja tudi Cantùjev tip super heroj – komik tip oz. »Superhero – comedic«(2). Te upodobitve lika smrti se ujemajo s tistimi v sodobnih delih in poleg svojih edinstvenih interpretacij vsebujejo tudi elemente preteklih upodobitev, vključno z odnosi do smrti. literature death personification attitude towards death folklore umetnostna besedila smrt personifikacija odnos do smrti pravljice true true false [A.
