THE CONDITION OF THE INTELLECTUAL AND THE CONSCIENCE CRISIS IN THE FIRST ROMANIAN MODERN NOVEL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

Summary/Abstract: By the writer Liviu Rebreanu Romanian literature gained a novelist who departs from the pages of his work in order to make free way to the characters of his fiction. His novels make up serious processes in which nothing stays unchanged, in which a world is usually broken apart, both the world of the conscience and that of action. In Pădurea Spânzuraţilor, the inner conflict between A. Bologa’s duty as a Romanian citizen and his obligation to obey the laws of the Austrian-Hungarian state generates a progressive and deep crisis in the conscience of the young intellectual who vacillates between the limits of war subjective morality and the inner freedom gained by the substance of a complex inner life synchronized by a psychological mechanism which characterizes responsible personalities. Thus, Liviu Rebreanu achieves an ample analysis of the condition of the restless Romanian intellectual confronted with the terrors and injustices of the war, and contributes to the formation of the psychological novel by a subtle analysis of the characters’ spiritual states facing exceptional situations.
