Caragiale and the Identity Complex
Caragiale and the Identity Complex

Summary/Abstract: The putting under scrutiny of Caragiale’s universe, as Angelo Mitchievici undertakes it, is dynamic and related to other texts from the literature of the world, as well as with other cultural spheres. The book recommends itself through its capacity to synthesize the features of the ”worldly-world” of Caragiale (as defined by V. Fanache), features containing: the carnival, the excessive, the whim, the noise, the cliché, the indistinct mixture of tragic and comic, the deformity, the monstrous. Caragiale’s actuality emerges as axiomatic, due to a continuity in type, not in time. An identity complex of the Romanians in connection to Caragiale is discussed.
