Sažetak
This article uses the short story Emilijan Lazarević by Josip Kozarac to question the relationship among various authorities in the context of the patriarchal family and the process of self-formation. A patriarchal family has a special structure and rules that individuals need to adopt in order to form desirable forms of behaviour aiming to preserve the closed order of the community. In that regard, the degraded role of femininity is relevant, and therefore, this analysis also discusses gender issues within the 19th century social norms. The principle of upbringing is the cornerstone of this article because it is dependent on the position of the Lazarević family in relation to other social groups. This article also addresses the issues of narcissism in the context of a grandiose self and an idealized parental image, which originates from the objects of selfhood, that is parents, in the pre-oedipal and oedipal phases of personality development.
