Comparative And Typological Analysis Of The Characters Of Ismail Kadares And Luan Starova
Abstract
What brings Broken April closer to The Time of the Goats is, in my opinion, their universal dimension, their similar construction as a " character novel ", the tragic nature of the character , the polyphonic composition described by the re-appearance in various ethnographic, canonical, mythical and ideological forms. Regarding the work of Ismail Kadare, researcher Ymer Çiraku says: " His pen creates a break with the narrative styles of traditional literature, becoming more powerful, more concentrated and with an existentialist tendency. From work to work, Kadare becomes an explorer of the existential essences of the individual and the nation, on a horizontal and vertical plane, with reflections and stylistic macro and microstructurings, almost dizzying.
