Summary/Abstract: The male identity in the camilpetresian dramaturgy is found as a close mirror reflection of the author. From the biographical data, but especially from the principles demonstrated in the philosophical work Doctrine of substance, a unique vision emerges, an alter identity of the creator himself. The male characters in Camil Petrescu's theater have a common thread with those in the epic works, at the same time hiding the deep and painful emotion of the lyrical one. Lucid hero, imbued with a sense of justice, passionate in search of unique, absolute love or a dandy who masks his erotic urges, willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for his principles, here he is under the name of masculine identities.
