Sažetak
This article, based on several mainly canonical Croatian early writ- ings, tries to determine if the subject of traveling is important for female characters, or if it’s constitutive only for male characters. By doing so, the author reviews several dramatic texts, several epic poems, religious poems and several lyrical poems. It is established that the subject of traveling, regardless of gender, or the genre of analyzed literary works, is more often connected to male characters, it is also established that the traveling of female characters never represents the process of (trans)formation, nor is the travel of female characters important for the whole community. It is concluded that the traveling of female characters is placed within unpreten- tious frames which are outlined by masculine, patriarchal discourse, which connects women with the home and its space, while men are connected with exteriors.
