The paper reveals that both Vukićevic and Domanovic depict a God who relinquishes support for believers, emphasizing themes of atheism and despair in their works. For example, Vukićevic's characters experience a 'cursed fairytale' where divine help is absent, illustrating their existential struggles.

How does each author portray the transformation of their protagonists?add

Domanovic's protagonist, Kraljević Marko, evolves from a heroic figure to a victim of societal indifference, culminating in his death due to neglect by his own people. In contrast, Vukićevic's Sima Stupica represents a complex savior figure whose identity is fluid and multifaceted, reflecting a satire of human aspirations.

Domanovic's Marko and Vukićevic's characters illustrate this through their struggles against a culturally ingrained sense of hopelessness and supernatural abandonment.

How do political contexts influence the narratives in both authors' works?add

The satirical elements in both texts reflect the political turbulence of late 19th-century Serbia, where freedom of expression was stifled. As noted, Dumanovic’s work was published in an opposition journal, indicating a direct response to the socio-political challenges faced by Serbian writers.

What are the distinct narrative techniques used by Vukićevic and Domanovic?add

Vukićevic employs hyperbole and allegory to reflect metaphysical struggles, while Domanovic uses stark contrasts between expectations and reality to critique societal norms. This results in a profound commentary on the nature of divinity and heroism in a world devoid of faith.
