Didactic Interpretation Of Selected Works Of Václav Havel

The diploma thesis maps the didactic possibilities of three selected works by Václav Havel. The selection of works respects the genre range of Havel's work, so, a detailed analysis is made of the collection of experimental poetry Antikódy, drama Protest and Dopisy Olze. The main aim of the thesis is to present specific possibilities of how to grasp Václav Havel's texts in teaching literature in secondary schools. In connection with this aim, three teaching lessons were created, based on the active work of pupils with excerpts from the mentioned texts. The lessons are designed to support pupils in thinking about the topic of morality and the relationship between the individual and society, both on a general and personal level. These lessons are based on the literary theory and literary history of the mentioned works and also on an analysis of their didactic potential. The diploma thesis opens with a chapter examining the way in which Václav Havel has been presented in printed and online teaching materials over the years. The reflection revealed a dominant portrayal of Václav Havel as a playwright, which subsequently led to the decision to address a broader spectrum of genres in Havel's works in the diploma thesis.
