The Dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Activity of Green Cadre in Miroslav Krleža’s Vučjak (Summary)
Saša Vuković
Abstract
The main aim of this paper is to analyze the play Vučjak written by Croatian author Miroslav Krleža, extract the data about green cadre and compare it with historical evidence. Moreover, Krleža was contemporary with these guerilla forces and even participated to some extent in the events depicted in the play – the author of this paper will try to identify certain autobiographical elements in the play and put them into historical context. By comparing the play analysis and historical evidence about the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the end of the First World War in 1918, it becomes apparent that Krleža’s predominantly leftist leanings had a major influence on his choice of the social-revolutionary motif as the most important one in the interpretation of the emergence and activity of the green cadre.
