Abstract

This paper deals with the status and destiny of woman in society which is at the crossroads of the two great civilizations (East and West) and religions (Islam and Christianity [Catholicism]). The paper focuses on the literary work by Ivo Andrić, Mara milosnica, and the tragic destiny of its heroine. The destiny of a young girl has been analysed by means of three parameters: me and the other, mine and the other's and identity and difference which are used by Kovač (2001). Analyzing the destiny of the young woman in terms of these parameters, we can conclude that a lack of comprehension and disdain towards everything that does not belong to one'sculture or is different from it arise from insurmountable differences between the two cultures.
