Summary/Abstract: Narrativity, folklore features, affinity with the ridiculous, optimism and deep humanism are the main characteristics of the dramatic creativity of Pero Budak. His dramatic creation Mećava and the comedy Klupko represent the renovation of folk works in Croatian literature. Budak is one of the rebuilders of erotic comedy in the post-war period of Croatian literature. In this paper are examined the folk and comedist elements in Budak’s dramatic creativity in relation to centuries of comedist achievements and experience also in relation to traditional folk dramatists.
