| Description | The paper deals with the interpretation of the play Já, Jákob (prem. 1968) written by the philosopher Vítězslav Gardavský (1923-1978). This drama, well rooted in biblical motifs, presents the Old Testament myth of Jacob as a parable of mans eternal struggle for his own identity. The author of this paper is trying to answer the question to what extent this drama stands out from the context of drama of the 1960s, whether it comprises the features of so-called problem drama and why the potential of its theatre presentation is considerably limited. |
