Summary/Abstract: Symbolic-mataphorical level of Miodrag Bulatovic’s novel Red Rooster Flies to the Sky makes the basis of the plot-lines of the novel, where fantasy serves as a shaping means. It is present in the reversion of the semantic field of the symbolic foundation of the story about the rooster, which makes the dramatic knot of the novel and the point where the lines of the motivation of the narrative stream cross. It branches around a specific sacrifice ritual which is stratified into two parallel episodes: the sacrifice of Muharem and the rooster, and the sacrifice of crazy Mara, where the sacrifice of crazy Mara is a projection of the reversion of the semantic field of the symbolic-metaphorical level of the novel. A branch of the symbolic-metaphorical level of the novel is supplemented with the story about heart which opens the issue of identity, meaningfully contributing to the semantic strain of the novel.
