Parents and children: analysis of Vjenceslav Novak´s novels

U ovome radu analizirali smo odnose roditelja i djece u romanima Posljednji Stipančići, Tito Dorčić, Pod Nehajem i Pavao Šegota Vjenceslava Novaka. Analiziranjem romana uvidjeli smo kako roditelji, posebice patrijarhalni očevi, mogu negativno utjecati na život svoje djece. Upoznali smo sudbinu nekoliko glavnih likova i uočili slične posljedice nastale pogrešnim roditeljskim odgojem. Primijetili smo da djeca ne mogu podnijeti teret koji im nameću roditelji pa to dovodi do njihovog bijega od njih ili, nažalost, samoubojstvu.In this paper work we have analyzed the relations of parents and children in the novels Posljednji Stipančići, Tito Dorčić, Pod Nehajem and Pavao Šegota of Vjenceslav Novak.
