Summary/Abstract: The article examines the part of Petko Todorov’s characters, that appears to remain away from the reception of literary criticism. These are all the famele characters, no mater their ethnicity or social status. This work propeses a semeotic analysis of all elements involved in the construction of the characters, looking for their common features and distinctive characteristics. As dominant in female imagery is displayed their exclusiveness – both in their appearance and their behavior. A conclusion is formulated, that Petko Todorov’s heroines aspire to love and freedom transgress taboos of the community and become a victim of their own modern selfhood.
