Abstract

Hasdeu seeks to demolish the romantic cliché of the angelic naïve virgin looking for the perfect love and the happy marriage to a young man capable of heroic deeds. GhiŃă Tăciune, the narrator in Duduca Mamuca, behaves according to a seduction ritual a strategic game locking all relationships to emotions. Hasdeu avears the mask of irony in Duduca Mamuca and he cynically keeps aloof from the model of angelic feminity. In this respect, Hasdeu acts as Caragiale’s forerunner.
