Summary/Abstract: Taking into account the historical context which generated the writings of Fănuş Neagu, the specificity of the literary works belonging to the writers of the 60s generation and the evolution of the characters, we consider that the confrontation between the literary characters in the writer’s literary works and history could be perceived as a gate of initiation of the individuals, especially in those literary pieces which convey figures and facts from the political environment of that epoch.Thus, we choose to exemplify the aspect of individual evolution by means of a novel with a well-marked political background, Amantul Marii Doamne Dracula / The Lover of the Great Lady Dracula. By resorting to structural and systematic analysis, we shall attempt to prove the fact that the human being undergoes a process of change under the influence of history, this evolution not being the right one at all times.
