The paper focuses on the literary characters named Eve in the post-war Czech literature. Eve represents according to the biblical creation myth one of the most noticeable archetypal characters, thus this name in a literary work implies the presence of the cultural tradition. On the basis of the analysis and the interpretation of the representative works (Vladimír Holan, Milan Kundera, Karel Šiktanc, Jan Balabán and other authors) the paper deals with the importance of the anthroponym in the perception of the character. The various shifts and modifications of the symbolism of the first woman and the original sin, connected to Eve, are discussed – both in the religious as well as in the profane meanings. Last but not least, the attention is paid to the literary references to the biblical Eve’s rebellion in Eden.

The paper is based on a strict distinction between the notion of a person referred to by a fictional name, as uttered within a text of narrative fiction, and the notion of a fictional character. The literary functions of such a text require the reader to interpret the occurrences of a fictional name as records of utterances of that name by the narrator, referring to that individual which has been assigned that name at the beginning of the chain to which these utterances belong. This, according to the author’s view, provides proper basis also for interpretation of various kinds of extra textual use of fictional names. A literary character is, on the contrary, an element of a construction of a literary work and is identified by a set of requirements (e.g. of the kind mentioned above) imposed by the text’s literary functions on the reader. The author attempts to justify the assumption that the referential function of fictional names so understood is to be interpreted as directed to the actual world (rather than to an artificial world created by the writer), to specify the (rather limited) role reserved for pretence within this approach, to explain the implications of this account of fictional characters for the dispute between realists and anti-realists in this field etc.

The paper analyses presence of spirituality in a so-called legionary short story by Jozef Gregor Tajovský (1874 – 1940) “Hlucháň”/“The Muffled” from the collection of proses Na vojne (At War, 1919). The interpretation is based on the theorem that Marcela Mikulová formulated about the main character as a modern-day saint and Ivica Hajdučeková´s thesis about the prayer as a „spiritualem“ reaching as far as the implicit level of the literary text and labelling the main character with the attribute „apostolizing“. Using „vertical“ characteristics, Tajovský depicted the central character of the short story as a spiritually strong person, for whom belief in God is an essential attribute of living, thinking and doing. As religiosity and spirituality were in harmony in his life, being religious became the fundamental categorical imperative. Dynamics of love and courage to spread the word of God shifted him from the periphery to the centre of the situation, which made him an example to follow. In line with this, he developed the attributes of the apostle prototype, which was due to his personal dialogue with God elevated to the character of „homo religiosus“. Tajovský used the contrastive principle of the high and low as an active ingredient, which affected the inner level of the text. The outcome was a paradox which became the writer´s tool for penetrating deeper into the inner worlds of the characters.

The novel Víťazný pád ([The victorious fall] 1929) is the last work in the first phase of the oeuvre of the Slovak writer of Czech origins, Peter Jilemnický (1901 – 1949). Literary historiography has most often discussed the novel in the context of Slovak interwar fiction primarily in relation to expressionism and the lyricisation of prose. The paper focuses on the transformation of the main character as the determining element in the development of the plot and on spatial contrasts in the novel. It identifies the plane of the material world, through which the author reflects the social tragedy of life in the Slovak region of Kysuce, and the plane of the imaginative world, represented especially by the main character Maťo Horoň. With regards to the imaginative world, the article proposes the hypothesis that the novel’s poetics has ties with the aesthetics of Czech poetism. The novel was written between 1925 and 1926, a period that witnessed an ongoing debate about the suitability of the poetic programme as blueprint for art and literature for the new society. The article views the novel as a transitional work in the development of the author’s poetics.
