Sažetak
This article debates possible similarities between actual residents of Dubrovnik and characters in Držić’s works. The majority of his nazbilj* characters, people that he directly took from the reality of contemporary Dubrovnik, act neither according to literary conventions, nor according to traditional literary patterns, but by copying them from the territory of Renaissance Dubrovnik into his imaginary, poetic world, and giving them new, literary sense, Držić created completely new, up to that time unknown and for his literacy crucial, literary achievements. The example of Đivana Milašica and other real world residents of Renaissance Dubrovnik, who are mentioned in the dramatic opus of Marin Držić, stress the literary dimension of social experience, however, at the same time, their presence in archaic sources completes the interpretational vision of Držić’s opus and confirms the literary meaning of historic documents. This fact is an answer to the more and more pronounced need for a many-sided approach to the history of literature, in which traces of the circulation of social energy appear on the margins of literary works. Greenblatt calls this social energy poetics of culture which, with its experiences, shapes, expressiveness and sensibility concentrates aesthetic experience.
* This is one of the terms which describes a kind of people that Držić uses in his comedy Dundo Maroje. Nazbilj people are truthful and honest people, moral heroes, as opposed to nahvao people who are those that are hypocritical, phony and greedy.
