REPRESENTATIONS OF THE FEMININE IN ,,MY TIRED FATHER”

Summary/Abstract: The main feature of Gellu Naum’s poetry it could be considered the adaptation of the text to the current times, through the symbols and language used. In order to do that, Gellu Naum should eliminate the archetypes from his creation, but this is an impossible task, because by cutting the links with the past, myths, symbols or archetypes the literature would lose everything that makes it creative, resulting a mixture of technical formulations. What Gellu Naum brings new is the adaptation of the female myth to the modern era. This rewriting shouldn’t be seen in a negative way, because the changes are made in order to strengthen and actualize the image of the female archetype. In conclusion, Gellu Naum carries the reader through the space of modern love in a different way than we are used to. He does not include drama in the love often seen as a sober feeling, but treats it with humour. By doing so, the love and the couple in love vary from the ordinary domestic couple, to the modern couple, with the independent woman, who makes the courting herself.
