Summary/Abstract: With his poetic and theatrical research, the author continues to search for conceptual solutions that S. M. Ljubiša used in narrative prose, primarily in Pripovijesti crnogorske i primorske. Lјubiša established a strong compositional ring in each type of storytelling, which includes, first of all, the classic stages of a dramatic action: exposition, development part - plot, conflict, climax, ups and downs and denouement. In addition, the writer-playwright enriched the action of each story with a series of data and details about the historical period in question. With the help of a series of details from the lives of the inhabitants of Montenegro and Paštrović, the writer singled out folklore and customs woven into their everyday traditional moral code. In this regard, the heroes of Ljubiša are decorated primarily with positive human qualities - honor, heroism, honesty, consciousness and awareness of morality, as well as a high degree of self-sacrifice and other virtues. At the same time, Ljubiša constantly contrasts the categories of good and evil in a broader sense, and in certain scenes of the drama, the principles of evil and good, violence and kindness, hatred and compassion, crime and forgiveness clash.
