    Metaphoric Representations of the Immigrant Experience in American Fantasy on the Screen
    Zilahi, Fanni; Lénárt-Muszka, Zsuzsanna; DE--Bölcsészettudományi Kar
    Critics and the general public tend to undervalue the fantasy genre's ability to represent real-life issues. However, the deep analysis of fantasy-related works on the screen in terms of their relevance in representing real phenomena proves that pieces of fantasy also aim to incorporate and represent such themes. In this thesis, by analyzing Neil Jordan's Interview with the Vampire (1994), Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec's The Vampire Diaries (2009-2017), D. B. Weiss and David Benioff's Game of Thrones (2011-2019), and David Ayer's Bright (2017), I provide insight into how pieces of fantasy are also relevant in representing real-life issues, in this case, the immigrant experience. Also, through exploring the presence of the general, often-recurring themes of the immigrant perspective in works of art, I argue that the representation of real-life phenomena is not an innovation of the genre but rather a progressively more visible aspect due to the change in the modes of representation, as since the millennium they have increasingly become more direct and straightforward.

    Reinterpretation of Flapper Identity Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises
    Zilahi, Fanni; Lénárt-Muszka, Zsuzsanna; DE--Bölcsészettudományi Kar
    While young women of 1920’s America were often labeled as flappers based on their glamorous lifestyle and their extravagant looks, studying the representation of New Women in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, I wish to argue that being a flapper is a more complex phenomenon that women could identify with based on their social status, appearance, and life choices. Thus, by examining five female characters from the books in question (Daisy, Jordan, Myrtle, and Catherine from The Great Gatsby, and Brett from The Sun Also Rises), I will classify them into different flapper categories based on the factors targeted above. First, I will go through each category and explain why each flapper character belongs to a specific category. Then, I will explore how flappers were portrayed in both fiction and non-fiction texts throughout the period. Following that, I will look at how the narrators of the stories in question relate to their characters. Along with the analysis of narrator-flapper relationships, I will discern what message the books in fact attempt to convey, taking into account the reliability of the narrators and their representation by the authors.
