Психолошки и наратолошки аспекти мотива сувишне жене у романима Сеоска учитељица Светолика Ранковића и Нечиста крв Борисава Станковића
Psychological and Narrative Aspects of the Motif of Superfluous Women in Novels Village Schoolmistress by Svetolik Ranković and Impure Blood by Borisav Stanković

Summary/Abstract: Although the concept of the superfluous man is associated with Russian literature from where it originally stems, in this paper the term superfluous women is used to describe two heroines of Serbian realistic and modern novel, Ljubica in Seoska učiteljica (The Village Schoolmistress) by Svetolik Ranković and Sofka in Nečista krv (Impure Blood) by Borisav Stanković. The paper argues that these two characters can be seen as transcendence and a variant of the superfluous man based on certain artistic and stylistic qualities. Therefore the hypothesis should not be exclusively treated as a consistent and literal parallel between superfluous women in Serbian literature on one hand and superfluous men in Russian literature on the other. On the comparative level, the aim is to enlighten the psychological and narrative aspects that are essential when it comes to molding the two heroines, as well as their destiny, from a perspective of superfluous women.
