Abstract
Vesna Kapor’s novel Nebo, tako duboko was analysed according to Georges Poulet’s Metamorphoses of the Circle. The analysis focused on the introductory chapter, the segment about the age of Baroque, and Rilke’s poetry. A comparatively ori- ented interpretation encompassed the novel’s key leitmotifs: water, teardrops, and the cir- cle. Through the analysis of the dominant concepts, the paper aims to answer the question of how these leitmotifs were schematised and systematised. Encounters with Tara Senica, the deceased girl, are marked by the following motifs: rain, snow, snowflakes, ice, dew, teardrops, and baptism. Within this context, the girl’s first and last name were analysed, as well as the time and space in the novel, which have become homogenized. The religious thought and the metaphysical aspects turned out to be the key. The thought about God is counterpoised to the nothingness in the face of death and meaninglessness.
