SUZANA THE PURE BY MAVRO VETRANOVIĆ

Frano Musić ; Zagreb

Abstract

Since Vetranović’s Suzana the pure was mostly approached to as the
“child of their time” and not as the work with a universal message, the author
with a new approach, from the “contemporary observation post”, in
this presentation reveals the permanent values which exceed spatiotemporal
visions and which are permanently topical. Taking over the theme
of Biblical text, Vetranović wanted to engage a man humanistically and
in the Christian way showing him that mind, truth, pureness and justice
eventually win irrationality, low passions and lies.
The article also explored the dramaturgical-theatrological, linguisticstylistic
and other characteristics and question of the authorship of this
work. Although it cannot be confirmed that Suzana the pure was preformed
on the stage, the intention of performance is visible in the text. As
far as the authorship is concerned this text is taken as the least debatable
in Vetranović’s drama opus of performing texts. More detailed language
and stylistic analysis gives good evidence for that.
