In literary works, fear appears as a phenomenon frequently because fear is something that humans face from the beginning of their lives. This paper strives to examine the source, characterization, the outcome of this phenomenon in the works "Princ Vatre" and "Sara I Serafina", notice similarities of the nature of fear between the works, and to provide a look at their reflexes and outcomes. This phenomenon is important from a psychological aspect and a philosophical one, so this paper will even study those points of view so that it can be seen how this phenomenon is being transposed between literary works. The paper shows these works as post-modern achievements that thematize and contextualize different events, but mostly deals with the origin and the effects of fear.
