Otroški besedili Sapramiška in Žogica Nogica z vidika izražanja čustev v literarni strukturi

This article presents the foundations of emotional literary theory and applies them to the analysis of two children’s works: Sapramiška (Sapra the Little Mouse) by Svetlana Makarovič and Žogica Nogica (The Little Ball with Legs), a translation of Jan Malík’s Míček Flíček (Little Spotted Ball). It focuses on how emotions are expressed in the texts, who expresses them, and through which literary devices. The analysis shows that Sapramiška, as the protagonist, actively expresses her emotions and subjectivity, whereas Žogica Nogica loses her voice after an initial emotional response, and her feelings are described by other characters.
