Abstract

The suffering of the Innocent and the Search for Words of Solu/Salva/tion in the Plays of Slavko Majcen

This article analyses the presentation of human suffering by Slovene dramatist Stanko Majcen, who felt personally called to actively overcome the pain of the helpless. Ironically, as an individual, he felt imprisoned by his position in society; which prevented him from personal engagement with the oppressed people with whom he identified, so long as he remained in the position of the protected. His weapon was words alone, which he used to try to awaken a “revolution”. The gap between words and actions, however, made him feel as though he were stretched, and ultimately he felt that his life was unfulfilled.
