    The suffragette movement as portrayed in the movie Suffragette (2015)
    (Tartu Ülikool, 2020) Floren, Karmen; Marling, Raili, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Klassikalise filoloogia osakond
    Movies, one of the main media of entertainment, provide an opportunity to bring attention to topics that might otherwise go unnoticed by the public. That, however, presents a certain level of responsibility to anyone who decides to base their narratives on historical topics. There is scholarly debate whether historical films should stay true to facts as much as possible or whether artistic liberties can be taken to convey the larger meaning that the audience can understand better. This is especially important in the case of controversial political events. This Bachelor’s thesis studies the portrayal of the suffragette movement in the 2015 dramatic feature film Suffragette, directed by Sarah Gavron. There are gaps both in translating the suffrage movement to screen and scholarly analysis. In order to analyse the movie, the history of the suffrage movement shall be looked into, with a focus on aspects relevant to or appearing in the movie. The years focused on are 1911-1913, corresponding with the height of militancy. This is also the span covered in the film. The literature review section also introduces some theoretical foundation for analysing history to provide a base for the analysis of the movie. The empirical chapter applies the notions from the literature review to the analysis of the film, to identify how the film makers have chosen to represent the events to their audience.

    The type of colonialism described in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness
    (Tartu Ülikool, 2020) Laas, Lennard; Rajamäe, Pilvi, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Inglise filoloogia osakond
    This thesis focuses on the aspects of colonization in the novel Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. Colonialism still remains a large issue today due to its ramifications on colonized lands and Heart of Darkness is to this day seen as a vivid account of colonization from over a century ago. The introduction shows what will be analysed and what literature is used to support said analysis. The first chapter is a literature overview, showcasing overall the literature that has been written on the Heart of Darkness beforehand along with literature that specifically focuses on the colonization aspect of it. The second core chapter starts off with an analysis of the location and colony that inspired the novel to find out the likeliest colony where the story of Heart of Darkness takes place and what kind of colony it is. After this, it moves onto discussing Marlow's experiences of the colony and how Conrad portrayed it for his audience.
