Abstract:The aim of this diploma thesis is to compare the symbolism of dragon in the book and the film How to Train Your Dragon. I explore the symbolic meaning of the creature in different cultures and in literature and then I focus on the presentation of the dragon in the story. The role of the mythological creature is very unconventional and it affects major themes of the story. I also explore the allegorical aspect of the story and compare the principles of dragon training to the principles of real-life pet training. This comparison helps to gain deeper understanding of the character development of the protagonist. The story has a lot to offer from the pedagogical point of view, since the audience is very young.

Title:SIMBOLIZEM IN NAČELA DRESURE ZMAJEV V ZGODBI KAKO IZURITI SVOJEGA ZMAJA: KOMPARATIVNI PRISTOP
Abstract:Namen pričujočega diplomskega dela je primerjava simbolizma zmajev v knjigi in filmu z naslovom Kako izuriti svojega zmaja. Raziskujemo, kakšen je simbolični pomen tega bitja v različnih kulturah in literaturi; osredinimo se na predstavitev zmaja v zgodbi. Nekonvencionalna vloga tega mitološkega bitja močno vpliva na glavne teme v zgodbi. Nadalje proučujemo alegorični vidik obeh različic te zgodbe in primerjamo načine dresure zmajev v zgodbi z načini dresure udomačenih živali v resničnem življenju. Slednja primerjava pripomore k boljšemu razumevanju literarnega razvoja pri glavni osebi. Zgodba veliko ponuja tudi s pedagoškega vidika, saj je priljubljena zlasti med otroci.
