This thesis aims to analyze the female characters in the plays and prose of Milan Begovic. The corpus of Begovic's dramatic texts is very extensive and a careful reading of his works is needed to limit the corpus of literary texts in which women and womanhood are dominant. In the first part of the work, the author will provide a detailed biography and bibliography of the writer, just as he will classify his works chronologically until 1952. After a detailed presentation, the author will describe the poetic conventions of Croatian modernity that influenced the design of Begovic's plays and prose works and the characterization of female characters. The central part of the paper, based on the expert literature consulted, will describe the position of women in the 19th century, which influenced the shaping of female characters in literature in general, and especially in Begovic's works. Subsequently, a classification of female characters will be established in a select corpus of Begovic literary texts, the most prominent being Ms. Walewska, the Man of God, the Adventurer at the Door, and Giga Baric as the best portrayal of woman and womanhood, and their struggles for themselves and their status. At the very end, a brief insight into Begovic's erotic prose will be given.
