FOLK PROVERBS IN DŽONO PALMOTIĆ’S MELODRAMAS

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the ways of using and modifying folk proverbs in the melodramas of Džono Palmotic (1607—1657), a poet from Dubrovnik. One comes to the conclusion that — regardless of how he treated the oral source of proverbs (literal quotation, editing or allusion) — Palmotic always weaved proverbs into his verses naturally and with an obvious skill. The greatest value of Palmotic’s melodramas lies in that intertwining of the baroque poetics and the poetics of oral creations.
