The Dysfunctional Family Model in Ian McEwan's Novels

The Dysfunctional Family Model in Ian McEwan's Novels
Abstract:
Tato práce se zaměřuje na vybrané romány autora Iana McEwana, konrétně On Chesil Beach, The Cement Garden a Atonement, a obzvláště pak na způsob, jakým je v těchto dílech ztvárněn model dysfunkčních rodin. Hlavním cílem je pak dokázat, že toto narušené rodinné prostředí často negativně ovlivňuje budoucí psychologický vývoj postav a způsobuje jejich selhání v mezilidských vztazích.
