Summary/Abstract: The issue of character creation is carefully analyzed by Camil Petrescu himself. The character is such a complex figure that the process of creation implies full involvement, all the more so in the case of the characters in the dramas. The playwright debated the intellectual problems, among his characters appearing exemplary types through the dramatism of the searches and the failures, through their acute lucidity, in general. His characters are complicated intellectuals, characterized by nostalgia for the absolute, exaggerated reflexivity, maladaptation, pride, contemplative spirit, refusal of compromises, capacity for analysis and synthesis, vocation of introspection, feeling of honor, loyalty, etc.
