In this thesis address the issue of how point of view and narrative voice within The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time (Mark Haddon 2003), and Mockingbird (Kathryn Erskine 2010) relate to the theoretical models of disability studies. As the analysis will prove, the effect of narrative strategies in the novels serves to underline some of the current challenges within the field of disability ...

This thesis explores the bleak nihilistic literary universe portrayed in the novels No Country for Old Men, The Road, and The Sunset Limited: A Novel in Dramatic Form, by Cormac McCarthy. These works portray the cause of human civilization’s death to be the decay of morality through the absence of divine agency. Without divinity present to enforce moral laws upon the population humans are free to ...

Furthermore, the thesis suggests using her work in upper secondary school to teach students about how narrative perspectives might manipulate empathy, which can enable them to reflect upon how different perspectives affect ...

The main focus in this thesis is metamorphoses and transformations in A.E. Stallings’ early poetry, where I explicate poems from her two volumes of poetry, Archaic Smile (1999) and Hapax (2006). The volumes share similarities, such as thematic use, however, the volumes are different on many terms as well. I argue that a shift has happened from volume one and volume two, and argue my case that Stallings ...

I min avhandling om Tarjei Vesaas’ Brannen (1961) utforsker jeg mystikken i verkets visjonære grunnlag. Hovedfokuset for mitt tolkningsarbeid ligger på symbolbruken i åpnings- og avslutningssekvensen. Gjennom et utvalg av religiøse, filosofiske og psykologiske tekster viser jeg hvordan Brannens billedmettete symbolspråk uttrykker de uutgrunnelige, transcendentale «sannheter» om menneskets sjeleliv. ...
