Love and Marriage in “Gura Satului” by Slavici

Summary/Abstract: Ioan Slavici’s short-stories are his laboratory of creation, where the major themes of his writing are developed and explored. The love theme is one of the most poignant in his writings, as it is placed on the background of more complex phenomena, such as the ritualistic behaviour in the traditional community, the social and economic status of the characters and their relationship with ‘the centre’. The love theme is also central in the creation of his female character, and here lies the modernity of his prose.
