Summary/Abstract: The subject of the research in this paper is the transposition of demons through the figure of a woman in the novel A drop of Spanish blood written by Milos Crnjanski. Aim of our research is clarifying figures of demons through the figure of a woman from the neglected novels of the twentieth century, in order to return to the novel, which has profound metaphysical meaning of human existence. Using the character encoding of the heroine from the novel A drop of Spanish blood, Lola Montez, we tried to find a demon figure, which would reveal the identity crisis and the collapse of the heroine, whose main goal is - true love. During the clarification of the figure of the heroine, we used the theories of Erot, sex, coitus, so we necessarily entered into the realm of death. An important segment of the work is comparing the character Lola Montez with other characters of Crnjanski, which contributed to more valid encoding of the demon character of the heroine in the novel
