Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the comparative analysis of the phenomena of female beauty as a significant trait of tragic circumstances in the history of literature and film, with a special focus on the central subject ‒ Jelisaveta, a Venetian noblewoman who married Đurađ Crnojević, the Montenegrin ruler. Reviewed through a diachronic perspective is the motif of the cursed foreigner, which in this drama is a compositional leitmotif that serves as evolutionary cause of physical and moral suffering, as well as the spiritual darkening. Prominent place within this work has the placement of the play “Jelisaveta, Princess of Montenegro” by Đura Jakšić in the context of Romanticism, which highlights black-and-white psychological characterizations. In a related manner, the issue of imagological aspects is raised‒the attitude towards the Other, the ties to historical revisionism, and the place of Crnojević dynasty in both historical and literary texts.
