Studiu de caz Craii de Curtea Veche de Mateiu I. Caragiale: Pirgu – personaj inițiator

Alina-Roxana Cioromelea analyzes Gore Pirgu from Mateiu Caragiale's Craii de Curtea-Veche as an initiator character. The study explores Pirgu’s role as a "linker" between social worlds, anchoring the aristocratic characters in a raw, Balkan reality. By triggering paratopy, he guides the kings through the "lived life," facilitating their spiritual Nigredo in the Arnoteni house. Ultimately, Pirgu represents the vital, albeit vulgar, force that destabilizes old hierarchies to ensure narrative cohesion. THIS ABSTRACT IS GENERATED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
