An Analysis of the 'Bury Your Gays' Trope in Contemporary Television Series
Anotace
Cílem této práce je prozkoumat momentální stav LGBTQ+ reprezentace v současných televizních seriálech.

This thesis aims to explore the current state of LGBTQ+ representation in contemporary television series. It focuses specifically on the “bury your gays” trope, which suggests that many LGBTQ+ characters are killed off solely to shock audiences, which can harm the well-being of queer viewers. The thesis discusses the origins, critiques, and impact of the trope and then compares the series Killing Eve and The Haunting of Bly Manor to explore the differences between perpetuating harmful tropes and portraying meaningful queer tragedy.
