The Depiction of Trauma in Alan Moore’s V for Vendetta and Watchmen
2020
Master´s thesis in English (EN500) This thesis will explore the depiction of trauma in Alan Moore’s graphic novels V for Vendetta and Watchmen . It aims to examine how something as unrepresentable as trauma can be portrayed using a balance of art and words in these two narratives. Writer Alan Moore and illustrators David Lloyd and Dave Gibbons have created alternative worlds with recognizable history and realistic characters who endure traumatic experiences that are presented using iconic language. I hope that my readers will gain a greater appreciation for this type of literature after understanding the potential it has in telling stories of importance and sensitivity surrounding trauma. I…
’Someone stole my story’ : Home and Trauma in Two Palestinian Novels
2018
Master's thesis English EN500 This thesis will examine representations of home and trauma in the Palestinian novels Mornings in Jenin (2008) by Susan Abulhawa and Salt Houses (2017) by Hala Alyan. Written by Palestinian refugees now living in the United States, each of the two novels follows a Palestinian family through four generations, and depicts the struggle of creating a sense of belonging away from home. This thesis will focus on the individual experience of home, and examine the ways in which traumatic memories hinder the various characters’ ability to create belonging in exile.

The new England code : controlling female agency in contemporary American tv drama
2008
Masteroppgave i engelsk - Universitetet i Agder 2008 In an attempt to contextualize the DC observations, the overarching super-genre of melo-drama has been given particular attention. The relevance of melodrama is evident as the main ‘corpus’ of the survey, Cold Case, embodies a range of melodramatic traits. Furthermore, as will be seen in Chapters 1 and 3 particularly, melodramatic and Puritan value sets tend to overlap, especially in the attitude towards family. All chapters include analyses of individual Cold Case episodes, and each analysis comes with a description of scenes within the episode written in a slightly more subjective language. This has been done in order to provide the rea…
