HEROI I PËRRALLËS: NJË TRINI PSIKOSIMBOLIKE DHE HAPËSIRA POETIKE
FAIRYTALE’S HERO: THE PSYCHOSYMBOLIC TRIANGLE AND THE POETIC SPACE

Summary/Abstract: In this essay I propose to review and examine the status of the hero as a motive that arises from the deep loneliness and desire and goes on by being converted into social action; creating this way a special poetic space. Unlike the hero functional definitions from the authors like Propp, Greimas, Surieau, and Campbell, we attempted to band a psychological and spiritual state triangle, based on the motivation of the heroes in the story, being focused on fairy tale. This triangle consists of: Traveler, Host and Soldier. Turned into cognitive categories, they express: Poetics, Ethics and Politics or Exploration, Conservation and Protection. The hero of the narrative dwells in one of these motivation fields and poetic spaces. However, he initially can live within an area and then move into another. The poetic sense is embodied mainly in Traveler, but with many other possibilities. Here seems to be crucial noticing that from the relationships between these three poles is constantly forged a very rich poetic space. The paper aims to emphasize the interest in looking beyond structural poetics, structural anthropology, formal and actantial functions based on syntagmatic or paradigmatic structures, by insisting on the hero’s motivations and on symbolic effects within a kind of psycho- symbolic archeology.
