Summary/Abstract: Poems about the hero Bolen Dojchin are really common in Macedonian folk poetry. Despite the various aspects from which this dramatic text can be approached, the incest and the prophecy that caused it seem to be the main events that need to be interpreted. in this text, the interest will be placed on the character of Angelina and her role in the incestuous relationship with Bolen Dojchin. In order to do that, Freud's discoveries about sexual drives and the tripartite structure of the human psyche will be applied. Dojchin in this case is vain, egoistic and flamboyant and acts exclusively according to the wishes of Id.
