Summary/Abstract: This work represents comperative analysis of other directed type, in one sociological text (Lonely crowd of David Riesman) and one literal text (an extract from The Golden fleece, Borislav Pekić). The connection between Riesman’s interpretation and Pekić resonance of this type of character is based upon consumer’s psychology and initial phase of depopulation which are sinister phenomenons of this social character. Difference between Pekić and Riesman is in degree of emphasising problem of discontinuity which appears together with withdrawal of inner directed type in favour to other directed type. Although he recognizes the appearance of discontinuity, Riesman does not pay much attention to this problem.
