Abstract:The following thesis examines narrative gaps and hints through a comparative analysis of Agatha Christie's detective novel The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and its graphic novel adaptation of the same title by Bruno Lachard. Christie's detective novel is known for its unreliable narrator and innovative plot twists by including several narrative gaps—omissions of certain crucial information—which are revealed to the reader at the end. The focus of this thesis is to inspect the visual depiction of those narrative gaps in the graphic adaptation of Christie's novel through searching for hidden clues in the pictures. In our analysis, we explore the graphic novel and expect to find discrepancies between the two works—Christie’s detective novel and Lachard’s graphic novel adaptation— as they belong to different formats and genres. Our hypotheses imply that the drawings feature narrative gaps; however, they also contain hints which could potentially reveal the ending to the reader too soon. The aim of this thesis is to examine the visual clues that replicate the intricacies of Christie's original narrative and the details of the investigation.

Title:Vizualna upodobitev pripovednih vrzeli v grafični priredbi romana Agathe Christie Umor Rogerja Ackroyda
Abstract:Magistrsko delo obravnava pripovedne vrzeli in namige v detektivskem romanu Agathe Christie Umor Rogerja Ackroyda in njegovi grafični priredbi Bruna Lacharda. Christiejin detektivski roman je znan po nezanesljivem pripovedovalcu in inovativnih zapletih v zgodbi, saj vključuje več pripovednih vrzeli – izpuščanje ključnih informacij –, ki se bralcu razkrijejo na koncu. Osrednji del analize teh pripovednih vrzeli temelji na primerjalni analizi besedilnega in grafičnega romana oziroma specifično na prenosu omenjenih literarnih elementov iz osnovnega romana v njegovo grafično priredbo, pri čemer je naša pozornost usmerjena v prepoznavanje in obravnavo skritih namigov v slikah grafičnega romana. Pri analizi predpostavljamo, da bomo med literarnima deloma našli določena neskladja, saj sta napisana v različnih formatih in žanrih. Naše hipoteze temeljijo na pričakovanju, da obstajajo pripovedne vrzeli in namigi v risbah, ki bi lahko bralcu potencialno prezgodaj razkrili konec. Z nalogo želimo preučiti vizualne namige, ki povzemajo zapletenost Christiejeve izvirne pripovedi in podrobnosti detektivske preiskave.
