Sažetak
Since literature regarding the work of Marin Držić has already researched the animal world in his serious literary works (poetry, Hekuba), as well as in his partially serious and partially comical pastorals (Tirena, Adon i Venera (Venus and Adonis), Grižula), this work draws attention to the writer’s comical dramas, as referred to by Milan Rešetar (Novela od Stanca, i.e., prosaic urban comedies). This research wants to show which elements make the animal world of Držić’s comedies, how often they appear, i.e. the appearance of their hierarchy, whose meanings relate to particular faunistic lexemes, in which way they fit into antithesis of nazbilj* people and nahvao* people and in which way they confirm the poetics of the Renaissance.
* These are terms for describing two kinds of people that Držić uses in his comedy Dundo Maroje. Nazbilj people are truthful and honest people, moral heroes, while nahvao people are those who are hypocrites, phonies and greedy people.
