RE-TELLING OF FOLK LITERATURE SUBJECTS IN THE PROSE OF NAUM PRIFTI

Summary/Abstract: The re-telling of the subjects of legends, ballads and Lenten songs tells of another way of Naum Prifiti's creativity: recreation. Folk literature, with its themes and motives, has served to writers who have approached "borrowed" subjects in various ways. Naum Prifti retells folk legends and Lenten songs in general, preserving their subject.He seeks "spaces" in the creations that serve him as a source, which he can supplement with details, descriptions, portrayals, dialogues and, rarely, with situations and characters. There are also cases where the characters and situations are missing in the text from which the subjects are taken. The author in most cases increases the intensity of the artistic experience in the reader by complementing the narratives with the characters' feelings, with the general atmosphere in which the events take place, usually giving more importance to a particular moment in his stories. In the compositional plane, Prifti’s legends, in most cases, follow the chronological course of events just as the folk creations from which the subjects are taken, but sometimes we have an inversion of the order of the storytelling. The purpose of the writer to retell a subject also influences the specifics of his creation.While Mitrush Kuteli in the retelling of subjects of folk literature ”... has thought seriously about their scholarly affects...” 10Naum Prifti did not have this intention. His aim is to bring the folk subjects to the reader’s time by retelling them in the greatest way possible so the new generation of readers “understands” them better.
