Summary/Abstract: In Simo Matavulj’s Bakonja fra-Brne (1892), orality is used as a mask of the authorial status. Alternativity that in the oral entities characterizes the collective knowledge, in the written text is “attributed” to different “voices.” In this paper the notion of voice is taken as a figurative nomination of the orally transposed narrative knowledge. Differences and simmilarities in relation to the previous or ultimate variety help reconstruct the narrative tension. Plot appears on the microlevel of action as a variety of the same. Fra-Brne’s illness is perceived as a plot on the level of more important episode. New sujet flows are being reconstructed by numerous and various interpretations (some think that it is the case of madness, other that it is the vow, atonement, or preparation for the act of endowment).
