Summary/Abstract: The work aims to put face to face the taboo around the figure of Migjen (Millosh Gjergj Nikolla), one of Albanian writers of the first decades of the twentieth century. I have attempted to make clear the parts of the life in which Migjen was a taboo, why he became as such, which were some of the circumstances on he was obligated to cross over? And in fact there were some of them, but I have stepped out to: The ordinary life, The schooling, The way he wrote, create, made art, His characters, his narration’s figures. Speaking about the taboo of Migjen is not a simple thing, so to be closer of him, I have serviced to the biggest psychologist Zigmund Frojd, to treat better the taboo as a process, what it is, when it happens, refereeing first to the determination. Then, I have made reference of Wund, who discussing the situation says: the taboo comes out, where there are the sources of the most primitive human passions and in the same time, longer (the sources we made reference) from the fear of the actions of demoniac powers. And going by this line, again Wund says: the man who make in-roads into taboo, it becomes himself in a taboo, because wins the dan-gerous quality to awake to the others the temptation to follow his example, where unconsciously, Lukja followed Migjen, made herself inroads into taboo, she dared to project and to think her life…and consequently she became a taboo. Migjeni was a taboo, not only because of the fact we enumerated upward, but he was prohibited, he was maintained, he was purified and he was sanctification.
