Inițiere prin descoperire în romanul Viața începe vineri de Ioana Pârvulescu
Initiation through discovery in the novel Life Begins on Friday by Ioana Pârvulescu

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we propose to present a way of initiation that occurs through discovery in the novel Life Begins on Friday by Ioana Pârvulescu. Among all the characters in this novel, we will consider Dan Crețu who goes through a liminal experience and arrives in a new world. He discovers the world, and thus forms an identity, going through all the stages of initiation theorized by Robert L. Moore. Our hermeneutic approach will be accompanied by the Jungian theories of initiation that will help us in the attempt to reveal the meanings of the symbols in the novel and the meanings of the initiation process undergone by the character.
