Tvrdica nikad ne umire. Barbu Ștefănescu Delavrancea i Ivo Andrić

In the realist structure of the short story Hagi Tudose (1903), written by the Romanian author Barbu Ştefănescu Delavrancea (1858-1918), there are incorporated motifs like stinginess, passion of avarice, social alienation and the accumulation of capital, and forty years later, through the character of Rajka Radaković from the novel The Miss (1945), writer Ivo Andrić (1892-1975) did the same thing. Such characters embodying the stinginess, like Hagi Tudose and Rajka Radaković, have a similar psychological profile, stereotypical thinking and also similarities in their replicas, having the same ideas, and thus are created conditions for a comparative reading of the mentioned works.
