Gothic elements in the novel Valerie a týden divů

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper discusses the Gothic motifs in the Surrealistic novel of the Czech poet, writer and translator Vítězslav Nezval. The novel Valérie a týden divů was written in 1935 but remained unpublished until 1945, becoming Nezval?s least known but most Surrealistic fiction. As critics have shown, Nezval drew on many sources ? M.G. Lewis?s The Monk, K.H. Mácha?s poem May, F.W. Murnau?s film Nosferatu, or Ann Radcliffe?s The Mysteries of Udolpho. Valérie is a variation on the Gothic novel as Nezval was a Gothic enthusiast. There are several Gothic motifs in Valérie: the grandmother?s house which resembles a Gothic castle; anti-Catholic sentiment embodied in the figure of the priest Gratian, who is a great orator able to control crowds through the force of his prayer, but also a rapist who attempts to seduce Valerie; disguises, which sometimes bring about comic effects; and an almost baroque theatricality in scenes like the wedding procession and reception.
