Ћутање и смех као оспољавање ослобађања јунака у роману Доротеј Добрила Ненадића
Silence and Laughter as Indications of the Liberation of the Main Character in Dobrilo Nenadić’s Novel Dorotej

Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the novel Dorotej considering the relationship between the novel and the philosophical-religious dominants of the depicted epoch, as well as the relationship between the Middle Ages and Renaissance in the European culture. The narrative structure of the novel has attracted researchers’ attention from the very beginning, considering the fact that the main character does not speak. Therefore, the paper mainly deals with the analysis of Dorotej’s silence as a leitmotif and a narrative principle, and laughter as his only way of expression, with regard to the depicted epoch. Literary critics and researchers have analyzed different aspects of the novel; however, the stylistic devices used for describing the spiritual characteristics of the time have been left unexplored.
