Construct of female character's identity in the prose written by DragojlaJarnević (Diary, Two Wedding Celebrations)

U središtu je ovoga istraživanja prikaz konstrukta identiteta ženskih likova u proznim djelima Dragojle Jarnević. Cilj je ovoga rada upoznati se s pojavom spisateljica u književnosti te kroz navode određenih teoretičara iz njihovih studija upoznati se s temeljima teorije identiteta. Također, jedan će dio rada biti posvećen prikazu načina konstrukcije ženskih likova s početka devetnaestoga stoljeća. Na samome smo početku rada prikazali borbu i jačanje nacionalnoga identiteta naših autora te afirmaciju autorica u tom kontekstu. Nadalje, nakon prikaza konstrukta identiteta ženskih likova u hrvatskoj književnosti devetnaestoga stoljeća, zbog lakšega uvida u novine koje Dragojla Jarnević unosi gradeći svoje likove, u drugome ćemo se pak poglavlju pobliže upoznati s njezinom pripovjednom prozom. Također, bit će riječi o začetcima ženskoga pisma, dnevniku kao književnome žanru, a sve to u svrhu razumijevanja jedinstvenoga cilja izgradnje i približavanja ženskoga svijeta čitateljskoj publici kroz dva različita djela, kroz intimnu ispovijest i fikcionalnu radnju. U trećem ćemo poglavlju predstaviti interpretaciju prvoga sustavno vođenoga Dnevnika u našoj književnosti. U istome će se poglavlju prikazati i konstrukt identiteta ženskoga autobiografskog lika u Dnevniku, prateći Dragojlino duhovno i fizičko sazrijevanje. U četvrtome, koje će ujedno biti i posljednje poglavlje, također ćemo prikazati konstrukt identiteta, ali u ovome kontekstu riječ je o fikcionalnim likovima. Na samome kraju rada slijedi zaključak koji služi kao komparativna analiza kojom će se uočiti sličnosti i razlike u gradnji ženskih identiteta kroz dva formalno različita djela te na dva različita načina.The review of construct of female character's identity in DragojlaJarnević's prose is in the centre of this research. The aim of this paper is to be informed about the increased occurrence of female authors in literature, as well as to be familiarised with the basics of the Identity theory through different excerpts from studies of certain theorists. In addition, one section of this paper will be dedicated to the representation of the way female characters were constructed at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The struggle and strengthening of the feeling of national identity of our authors was reviewed at the very beginning of this paper, as well as the affirmation of female authors in the same context. Next, after the review of the construct of female character's identities in Croatian literature of the nineteenth century, in the second chapter we will be informed in more detail aboutDragojlaJarnević's narrative prose due to an easier insight in the novelties she introduces throughout the process of constructing her characters. Something will also be said on the beginnings of female writings, diary as a literary genre, and all that in order to comprehend a unique goal of constructing and bringing closer the female world to readers through two unalike works, through intimate confession and fictional plot. The interpretation of the first systematically written Diary in our literature will be presented in the third chapter. The same chapter will provide the construct of identity of female autobiographical character in the Diary, following Dragojla's spiritual and physical development. In the fourth, and also the last chapter, there will also be a review of the construct of an identity. However, in this context, it will be regarding fictional characters. At the very end of the paper, there will be a conclusion which serves as a comparative analysis which will help in distinguishing the similarities and differences in constructing of female identities through two formally unalike works, and in two different ways
