Literarna oseba v izjemnih življenjskih okoliščinah Zupanovega romana Menuet za kitaro

To diplomsko delo se ukvarja s problemom literarne osebe v izjemnih življenjskih okoliščinah. Za izhodiščno delo, ki ga bom obravnaval, sem izbral roman Menuet za kitaro Vitomila Zupana, kot primerjalni roman pa delo Ernesta Hemingwaya Komu zvoni. Pri prvem romanu gre na eni strani za čas in prostor druge svetovne vojne na slovenskih tleh ter na drugi za letoviško vzdušje ob španski obali. Pri drugem romanu pa je pripovedno ozadje španska državljanska vojna v drugi polovici tridesetih let dvajsetega stoletja. Gre torej za literarni deli, ki nosita neke podobne zgodbene in časovne podstavke, ampak vsako v svoji pripovedi problem glavne literarne osebe osvetljujeta na med seboj precej drugačen način.This thesis focuses on problems of literary characters within extreme life circumstances. I take A Menuet for Guitar by Vitomil Zupan as a starting work, and Ernest Hemingway\u27s For Whom the Bell Tolls as its comparative novel. Zupan\u27s novel is structured around two separate narratives: the first takes place during World War II in Slovenia, and the second is situated thirty years later on the Spanish coast in a resort atmosphere. The narrative background of Hemingway\u27s novel is the Spanish Civil War in the second part of the 1930s. The two stories share similar bases of narrative themes and time elements. However the issues of their main literary characters are posed and brought to light in quite different ways
