Description
Summary:The article examines the state of some archetypes identified in the story Ivan Turbinca, but also the character retrospection to the archetypal evil. Ivan Turbincă’s confrontation with this evil archetype introduces an ontological model of fight between man and evil, similar to the mythical prototype identified in the biblical texts. In this way, the Creanga’s character transgressed the influences of universal evil by it submission, and the archetypal image dismounted by the devil’s fixation into insignificance, towards which the triumphal laughter of collective subconscious hovers, reassuring humor, which does not leave room for macabre interpretations.
