| Popis: | This paper addresses the concept of “fallen men” during the Victorian era, which has been neglected to some extent due to the attention given to the restrictions placed on women. The analysis focuses on the various types of transgressions committed by the three main protagonists of the television series Penny Dreadful. Since it is neo-Victorian fiction with Gothic and detective elements, the series is an appropriate source for such an analysis. The paper begins by discussing these elements and proceeds to define the concept of the “fallen man” in comparison to his female version. Afterward, it positions the three main characters, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, and Sir Malcolm Murray, as “fallen men” because of various acts that are considered transgressive by the highly critical Victorian society. The young scientist Dr. Victor Frankenstein represents transgressions related to a lack of sexual drive and irreligion (atheism). In contrast, the beautiful and wealthy Dorian Gray commits various types of “immoralities,” including unusual sexual acts, displaying homosexual tendencies, and having a relationship with a transgender person. Finally, the third protagonist, Sir Malcolm Murray, fails to fulfill his marital and parental duties, which marks him as “fallen.” The analysis highlights the differences in the transgressions each character commits that classify them as fallen. In this way, it illustrates that both women and men lived under the constraints of Victorian rules and restrictions. Ovaj rad proučava viktorijanski koncept „posrnulog muškarca“ koji se često zanemaruje u usporedbi s konceptom „posrnule žene“. Rad analizira različite vrste prijestupa koje su počinila tri glavna protagonista televizijske serije Penny Dreadful. Serija se može pozicionirati kao neoviktorijanska fikcija koja sadrži gotičke elemente i elemente detektivske fikcije te je zbog toga prikladan izbor za proučavanje ovog koncepta. Rad započinje definicijom neoviktorijanske fikcije. Slijedom toga, definira pojam „posrnulog muškarca“ u usporedbi s njegovom ženskom inačicom. Četvrto poglavlje pozicionira tri glavna muška lika, doktora Victora Frankensteinea, Doriana Graya i Malcolma Murrayja, kao „posrnule muškarce“ zbog ponašanja koje je kritično viktorijansko društvo smatralo „prijestupničkim.“ Mladi znanstvenik doktor Victor Frankenstein zastupa prijestupe vezane uz nedostatak seksualnog nagona i nereligioznosti (ateizma). S druge strane, Dorian Gray se ponaša „nemoralno.“ Odnosno, uživa u seksualnim praksama koje su se u to dobra smatrale transgresivnim, pokazuje homoseksualne sklonosti, te ulazi u vezu s transrodnom osobom. Posljednji se protagonist, Sir Malcolm Murray, može smatrati „posrnulim“ jer nije ispunio svoju bračnu i roditeljsku dužnost. Rad naglašava da se svaki lik može pozicionirati kao „posrnuli“ zbog drugačijeg razloga, odnosno prijestupa. Time ističe kako su žene ali i muškarci živjeli pod pritiskom viktorijanskih normi i pravila ponašanja. |
