| Summary: | The study aims to emphasize some critical opinions that observe and illustrate the power and
talent of I.L. Caragiale to imagine a human character or a comic situation with the creative force of
words. The characters are outlined in all the comedies from the first act, the dominant features of the
heroes being highlighted in particular by language features. The study proposes an analysis of both the
critical direction that considers the diversity of the Caragiale social typology to be classical, as well as
the modern vision that the grotesque comic in Caragiale’s plays relate to life in its entirety, the world
of Caţavencu and Conu Leonida being a hopeless world. |
