Abstract

Through the fate of a novel's heroine Simka Katic, Serbian writer Dobrica Cosic (1921-2014) showed the individual and collective fate of women in the Serbian society during the 19th century. The tragedy of this woman comes from her desire to give birth to the male heir for herself and for the family she was getting married into. In despair, she cheats her husband with a servant and by this gesture, which defies the strict rules of patriarchal morality, she gives birth to the son named Adam, who becomes the inheritor of the Katic family, but she destroys her own life.
