Sažetak
This thesis analyses humour in the children’s novel "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (1964) by Roald Dahl. The thesis is divided into four main parts: a biography of Roald Dahl, an overview of the main theories of humour and their influence in the novel, a synopsis of the novel and a detailed analysis of humour in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". The first part presents a brief overview of Roald Dahl’s life and work, particularly the most important events that influenced him as an author and his most significant works for children. The second part explains the three main theories of humour (The Superiority Theory, The Incongruity Theory, and The Relief Theory) and provides examples from the novel which exemplify the theories. The third part is a brief synopsis of the novel. Finally, the fourth part analyses humour in "Charlie and Chocolate Factory". Some of the literary elements that contribute to humour in the novel are: verbal humour, satire, nonsense, irony, grotesque, and the illustrations. These elements are analysed and their interpretation is supported by examples from the novel.
