The Curse and the Attempt to Protect from the Curse in the Short Story "The Godfather’s Curse" by Janko Veselinović
Abstract
In his rural themed short stories, Janko Veselinović gave snippets of life in the Serbian
village of the XIX century that represent a valuable material for ethnological study. Folk
meditations on sin, punishment, oath, damnation etc. were often the driving force behind his
short stories. The subject of our work is Veselinović’s short story The Godfather’s Curse
where the author wanted to depict the way in which a curse, just like in the beliefs of the
ancients, strike the one who had committed a sin. No one can escape the curse, not even the
strongest ones, nor their descendants, because in the short stories by Janko Veselinović evil
must be punished.
