INTEGRATION OF THE CHARACTER OF A SELF-CONSCIOUS WOMAN IN TRILOGY OF KURLANI BY MIRKO BOŽIĆ

Abstract

The paper deals with the integration of the character of a self-conscious woman in Trilogy of Kurlani by Mirko Božić, which is based on the semantic shift realized through the character of Gara. By her semantic components, the character of Gara deviates from the sense order inherent in the other female characters of Trilogy. Gara experiences a transformation of radical and universal proportions, from the oppressed position conditioned by the gender to the birth of the individual consciousness and awakening of one’s own personality and is raised to the level of the concept which is presented in this paper through three phases. The first phase marks Gara’s unconscious acceptance of the collective consciousness while in the second phase her disquiet comes as a motivational means. In the third phase, a self-conscious woman arises in Gara through the knowledge of the right to choice.
