V roce 1967 vydal William Styron román založený na vzpouře čerošských otroků v Southampton County ve Virginii ve Spojených státech amerických. Ono povstání vedl Nat Turner, jednatřicetiletý africký otrok, který věřil, že byl předurčen osvbodit svůj lid. Tato bakalářská práce se zaměřuje na postavu Nata Turnera v očích Williama Styrona a rozebírá kritiku a kontroverzi spojenou s jeho jménem. Dále také zkoumá, do jaké míry se Styron inspiroval historickou předlohou a které části literárního díla jsou pouze fiktivní.
Anotace v angličtině
In 1967, William Styron released a novel based on the 1831 slave revolt in Southampton County, Virginia, in the United States of America. Nat Turner, a thirty-one-year-old African slave that believed he had been destined to free his people, led the insurrection. The public was intrigued by the uprising. This bachelor's thesis focuses on the character of Nat Turner with the eyes of William Styron and the criticism and controversy associated with this name. My research compares Styron's literary output to Turner's testimony. It also looks at the range of Styron's imagination in his work.

Zásady pro vypracování
In the beginning, I would like to compare the texts and identify all the differences between them. My aim is to state why these differences occurred. Is it possible for the author to change the reality? I would also like to give a detailed description of this topic regarding historical context.
