Summary/Abstract: The indisputable impact of The Mountain Wreath on creating the conceptual world in the novel The Chase is best illustrated by the transfer of action ethics, i.e. cult of permanent struggle. This is, inter alia, the environment of the novel The Chase in which female characters have been modelled. This domain of general pursuit is described by Njegoš with the line This world is a tyrant to the tyrant, which is ruled by the low of fog or clouds and the struggle for sublime moral values, is associated to the female characters. Their combat spirit becomes an expression of the need to be part of the struggle, as well as an additional utilization of the specific philosophical and ethical system of heroism. They become the heroines and the victims who have failed to meet the high moral demands of the struggle.
