Abstract
Cílem této práce je s pomocí naratologické teorie o literární postavě a charakterizaci v románu analyzovat způsob využití plochých vedlejších postav v narativu detektivní fikce v knižní sérii Inspektor Rebus od Iana Rankina. Tato práce se bezvýhradně zaměřuje na postavy provozující prostituci a pokládá si za úkol dokázat, že hlavní využití těchto vedlejších postav spočívá v symbolické alegorii k pocitu viny a následnému sebedestrukčnímu chování hlavního hrdiny.
The main aim of this thesis is to use narratological theories of the literary character and characterization to analyze the method of incorporating flat minor characters in the narrative of detective fiction in Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus series. This paper will focus exclusively on the characters which profess prostitution, and will aim to prove that the main utilization of these flat characters is to serve as the symbolic allegory to the protagonist's sense of guilt and subsequent self-destructive behavior.
