ЛИКОТ НА МАЈКАТА ВО XIX ВЕК КАКО РЕАЛЕН И КНИЖЕВЕН МОДЕЛ
The Figure of the Mother in the XIX Century as a Real and Literary Model

Summary/Abstract: One of the most commonly used figures in Macedonian literature in the XIX century is that of the mother. Motherhood was used as a motive and topic by numerous writers in their memories, prose and poetry works. The images of the mother is present in Macedonian folklore, as well. Here the mother is presented with all her human qualities: good, bad, she curses, she blesses. On the other hand, in autobiographies and memories, she is elevated to a higher, sometimes even unreal level. We find particularly interesting the female characters in the works of Grigor Prlichev, Rajko Zhinzifov and Marko Cepenkov, which we have dealt with in more detail. As a separate sub-topic, there appears the cycle of songs in which the fatherland Macedonia is represented as a mother. That is why we have paid special attention to it, as to a leading female figure in reality and literature.
