Summary/Abstract: “There is not much room in the tribes for individualism, nor the liberalism of the so-called free personality, but only for the cult of the great and strong personality. In the tribal and patriarchal community in general, a great person is only a representation of the essence of the spirit of the community. The personality is a tribe, the best in the tribe; the best example of the will and readiness of the tribe, elevating the tribe by his example, raising its moral ambition, giving it new qualities and never undermining or overthrowing it. He affirms the tribe with his personality. He is not governed by his power ambition but by the will to ensure the power of the community,” as G. Gesemann explained, speaking of the limitations is seen as a part of the nature of freedom in patriarchy, and indirectly, of that freedom which would disrupt the tribal view of the world and its tendency towards moral homogenization or cohesion. In the shadow of this strict ethical requirement, the ideological and value systems of The Mountain Wreath (Gorski vijenac) and The Pursuit (Hajka) were modeled, which is how the so-called personalism or quasiindividualism becomes a significant core of their comparability and metatextuality.
