MOTHER EARTH IN MIKOLA M. KOČIŠ’S AND MIHAJLO KOVAČ’S LITERARY WORKS

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the archetype of Mother Earth which connects Mikola M. Kočiš’s literary works with the literature of his literature teacher – Mihajlo Kovač. Kovač presents his homeland through a myth of a symbolic space dominated by the Ruthenian agricultural class whose life is deeply rooted in the lifestyle inherently organised to follow the mythological reflection of Mother Earth. The Analysis of Mikola M. Kočiš’s literary works shows that the mythological reflection of Mother Earth is set in those moments of Ruthenian history that refers to their immigrations to Bačka. That is the moment when the Ruthenians made a connection with the Earth because that lives began to depend on it. Through the analyzis of Mikola M. Kočiš’s literary works we are presented with the development of that connection between man and the earth at the moment when the earth became Mother Earth to the Ruthenians, with its mythological meanings that are very similar to the ones in Kovač’s literary works.
