Uloga dostojanstva i moralnosti u romanu “Mačka i miš” Gintera Grasa

Abstract

Na primeru romana “Mačka i miš” Gintera Grasa ovaj rad će pokušati da odgovori na pitanja kako je moguće suočiti se sa krivicom u posleratnom društvu i kako odbraniti sopstveno dostojanstvo. Analizom postupaka likova u romanu ovaj rad pokazuje duboki uticaj rata na ličnu etiku i moralne dileme sa kojima se pojedinci moraju suočiti prilikom pokušaja da usklade postupke iz prošlosti sa svetom u kome sada žive. Prikazom Grasovog narativa ispitani su višedimenzionalni aspekati krivice i morala i njihova implikacija na odluke, postupke i konačno iskupljenje počinilaca. U radu će se analizirati načini na koje se glavni junak bori sa osećanjem krivice i teži da povrati izgubljeno dostojanstvo.

Based on the novel “Cat and Mouse” by Gunter Grass, this paper will attempt to answer questions about confronting guilt in a post-war society and defending one's dignity. Through the analysis of the character's actions in the novel, this paperwork demonstrates the profound influence of war on personal ethics and moral dilemmas that individuals must face when trying to reconcile their past actions with the world they currently live in. By examining Grass's narrative, the multidimensional aspects of guilt and morality, and their implications on the perpetrators' decisions, actions, and eventual redemption, have been explored. The paper will analyze how the main protagonist struggles with guilt and strives to regain lost dignity.
