Ion Caraion. Identification with Arghezi – Solution for Moral Dilemmas

Abstract

Starting from a text where Ion Caraion presents dimensions of Tudor Arghezi’s biography and literature, I’ve underlined those aspects that reveal the influence that meeting Arghezi had upon Caraion’s future evolution. By presenting Arghezi as an exemplary role model, Caraion creates the opportunity to use whatever resemblance might exist between them to transform the justification of Arghezi’s actions into an indirect self-justification for his own options.
