Тhe Stereotypes in the Macedonian and Serbian Literature and Culture at the End of the 19th and the Beginning of the 20th Century

Summary/Abstract: This paper reviews the stereotypes for particular groups in society as limiting factors in the individual choices of the ones who belong to the respective group, which lead to discrimination and stigmatization. This analysis is done based of literary practice and literary culture of the Macedonian and Serbian people or Balkanism in a narrower context. In that direction, a special place is devoted to the analysis of Stevan Sremac's “Zona Zamfirova” as a part of Serbian literature in the 19th century, and the Macedonian dramas "Chorbadzi Teodos" and "Begalka" (Runaway) by Vasil Iljoski, created at the beginning the 20th century. In this paper I will explore the stereotypes in the above literary works based on sex and gender, national and racial origin, cultural tradition and social status.
