    Abstract In this essay I will analyse in depth Jim Butcher’s and George R.R. Martin’s female protagonists in Butcher’s Dresden Files and Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. The essay will demonstrate how both Butcher and Martin depict their female protagonists and companion characters and how their female characters cope with violence in a different manner than how most female writers let their characters do. Moreover, I will analyse and explain how Butcher and Martin’s female protagonists and companion characters are good examples of strong female characters. Both series will be discussed and analysed separately, and subsequently compared to each other, as well as to similar series by female authors, in order to demonstrate how Butcher and Martin depict their female protagonists differently from female authors.

Then when things are at their worst, the Winter Queen of Faerie saunters in with an offer Harry cant refuse. All he has to do is find out who murdered the Summer Knight, the Summer Queens right-hand man, and clear the Winter Queens name. It seems simple, but Faerie politics seldom work out that way.

    When Harry Met Harry A Hero’s Journey Analysis of J.K. Rowling's Potterverse and Jim Butcher's Dresden Files Ritgerð til MA-prófs í enskukennslu Ásrún Ester Magnúsdóttir Janúar 2019 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enskukennsla When Harry Met Harry A Hero’s Journey Analysis of J.K. Rowling's Potterverse and Jim Butcher's Dresden Files Ritgerð til MA-prófs í enskukennslu Ásrún Ester Magnúsdóttir Kt.: 280788-4069 Leiðbeinandi: Anna Heiða Pálsdóttir Janúar 2019 Acknowledgements It could be said that writing this thesis has been a hero’s journey on its own as I set forth on the adventure if completing my degree. On the way I was faced with the biggest and trickiest of all Villains: self-doubt. It was only with the assistance of my trusted Allies that I was able to emerge victorious with a completed thesis. That is why I wish to rely my heartfelt thanks to all of my Allies, those who stood by me and reassured me when I did not think I had it in me to complete the challenge. First of all I would like to thank my sister, Sigríður Aðils Magnúsdóttir, who always took the time to talk sense into me whilst also working on her own thesis. It was wonderful to have her as a partner in crime, because even though we were working on our separate essays, just knowing that she was facing the same Threshold Guardians as I was gave me extra strength. This also would not have been possible without my amazing boyfriend, but he truly was my rock throughout this journey and biggest supporter.

I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access.

Signature: Brielle Campos, Student Date Approvals: Dr. Laura Beadling, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. Dolores Sisco, Committee Member Date Dr. Linda Strom, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT Genre is an important part of the television industry, as it helps both producers market their texts and consumers better interpret the television they consume. By combining genres, producers can create new stories and more dynamic characters to please audiences. A recent combination that has come into being is fantasy noir. Such examples of this genre are Pushing Daisies, Constantine, and The Dresden Files. These shows take recognizable elements from both genres and meld them together to create a stronger story. While the general population does not support texts such as Pushing Daisies, Constantine, or The Dresden Files, the fans who do have found something that they can be highly dedicated to.

Names, characters, places, and incidents are either the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business establishments, events or locales is entirely coincidental. J J J J J I I I I I Dedication This book is for big sisters everywhere who have enough patience not to strangle their little brothers—and particularly for my own sisters, who had more than most. I owe you both so much. And for Mom, for reasons that are so obvious that they really don‘t need to be said—but I thought I would make special mention of candy cane cookies and that rocking chair that creaked me to sleep. Chapter 1 It rained toads the day the White Council came to town. I got out of the Blue Beetle, my beat-up old Volkswagen bug, and squinted against the midsummer sunlight. Lake Meadow Park lies a bit south of Chicago‘s Loop, a long sprint from Lake Michigan‘s shores. Even in heat like we‘d had lately, the park would normally be crowded with people. Today it was deserted but for an old lady with a shopping cart and a long coat, tottering around the park. It wasn‘t yet noon, and my sweats and T-shirt were too hot for the weather.
