FEAR AS A DRIVING SUBJECT IN THE SELECTED SHORT STORIES BY IVO ANDRIĆ ("THE BOOK" AND "ASKA AND THE WOLF")

Summary/Abstract: Researching fear as a driving subject in short stories “The Book” and “Aska and the Wolf” by Ivo Andrić, we observed the phenomenon of fear from the literary-artistic and psychological perspectives, its mechanisms, constructive and destructive performance, as well as the ways it could be overcome by bravery, broader view of reality, creative expression and constructiveness. We particularly relied on the philosophical premises of Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard and Vladeta Jerotić’s paper On Fear as well. The selected short stories by Andrić best present different variations of behavior of an individual when facing fear, ranging from being overwhelmed with fear, as the boy from the short story The Book is, to the creative and active state, illustrated by Aska’s “dance for life”, which allowed us to use a comparative method in studying the described phenomenon as well.
