Camil Petrescu - The mask game with / without mask

Summary/Abstract: In Camil Petrescu′s opinion, life cannot be subordinated to the idea, because complexity of Life is much more deeper than the Idea. Precisely for this reason, Camil Petrescu′s characters do not live sumptously and far from the heights of some ideas or principles, but they are angry, boiling, changing their minds, conflicting with the hostility of the world, looking for their way, suffering. Petrescu′s characters are not easy uninvolved spectators living in their own minds, isolated from what surrounds them, they are intelligent people, they problematize and look for solutions to dilemas that are most often out of reach. In the abssence of this turmoil, the drama would be deprived of its charm, fluidity and timelessness that life offers.
