Recourse to a phenomenology of the critical conscience and experience
As a product of transition epochs, new types of characters emerge. In the writings of Romanian writers Mihai Eminescu and I.L. Caragiale, wecan encounter two categories of characters that manifest comun features: Catilina-followers in Mihai Eminescu’s works and social temeperature-sensitivindividuals, with a special immediacy of poltical opportunism in I.L. Caragiale’s oeuvre. The swivel-eyed characters, the slyboots and the trialogue witness do represent, besides Catilina-followers and social temperature-sensitive individuals, various ways of reflecting life, history and otherness (peers, opponents, oneself), ascontained in the works of the great classics.
Keywords: Catilina-followers; slyboots; swivel-eyed characters; literary and socio-political outlook; the iconic character, individuals sensitive to political and social temperature, author’s blueprint; the trialogue witness
