Particularităţi discursiv-narative în câteva schiţe ale lui I. L. Caragiale

Abstract

Many critics have shown the status of I. L. Caragiale as one of the greatest “men who hear things” in Romanian literature. Along with Marin Preda, Caragiale has delicately observed the speaking particularities of people he met, splendidly turning them into neverdying characters and building unique speech situations. This rapidly turned out as being the very genesis of Caragiale’s literary flair; a fluid that drives the act of building the story itself, vital for any move of any character in his literary work. This paper, therefore, aims at bringing forth the auditory features of the characters in some short stories, and everything that comes with them: a feast of literary sight and hearing.
