Summary/Abstract: This paper recognizes the development of feminist ideas through history, highlights the mechanisms of female oppression in a patriarchal society observed through the prism of new feminist movements which are to take more prominent positions on the literary scene during the twentieth century, and observes the relationship of the collective to the woman as well as her attempt to oppose the collective consciousness. It will draw attention to the compositional and semantic aspect of Djul-Marika’s Tales by Jelena Dimitrijević and to the genre of its text. The focus is on explaining the dialogue characteristics of the text, on the loss of identity of the main heroine, on observing the protagonists of the story using psychoanalysis in order to characterize and individualize them. The aspects of chronos and topos are represented through the relations past - present - future and interior - exterior. Also pointed out are the use of emblemizing, the presence of oniric and folklore fiction and the dominant opponent model of individual and collective freedom which, woven into the complex narative stream, allow polyvalency in the meaning of the story as a whole.
