Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the influence of traditional fairy tales to contemporary stories for children and to compare their features. The thesis mainly focuses on the characters of Little Red Riding Hood and Lucy who is the protagonist in Gaiman's picture book The wolves in the walls. Furthermore, the thesis discusses two Slovene variant versions of the fairy tale of Little Red Riding and deals with the issue of fear in modern stories. Another focus of interest are the stylistic devices which the author uses to increase and decrease the tension in the narrative. Since The Wolves in the Walls is a picture book, the thesis is interested in illustration and deals with the question how pictures and words act upon each other in this picture book.

Secondary abstract: Namen te diplome je raziskati vpliv klasične pravljice na sodobne zgodbe za otroke in primerjati značilnosti obeh. Diploma se osredotoča na literarna lika Rdeče kapice in Lucy, ki je osrednji lik Gaimanove slikanice The Wolves in the Walls. Nadalje, se naloga ukvarja z dvema slovenskima različicama Rdeče Kapice in z vprašanjem strahu v sodobnih zgodbah. Zanimajo nas predvsem stilna sredstva, s katerimi je pisatelj povečeval in zmanjševal napetost v pripovedi. Glede na dejstvo, da je The Wolves in the Walls slikanica, nas zanima tudi, kakšno je razmerje med sliko in besedo v tej slikanici.
