Summary

Petar Petrović Njegoš: The Highland Wreath

The Highland Wreath remains timeless, valued as one of the greatest achievements of Serbian literature as a whole. His mostly ten-meter epic drama, expressed in the traditional meter of Serbian folk poetry, presents a panoramic view of Montenegrin society at the end of the 17th century: sharply divided and threatened by foreign military and spiritual rule. Because, trying to maintain their traditional worship of freedom, courage and honor, which was passed on to them by their strict, Spartan ancestors, the Christian Orthodox Montenegrin Serbs - whose identity and very lives were physically, economically and morally threatened by the occupiers - were forced to turn against their native, also ethnically Serbian compatriots, who, by converting to Islam, joined the oppressors. Thus, Njegoš's account of the historical event that took place on the Orthodox Christmas Eve in Cetinje, which was preceded by the deliberations of the local leaders and their unsuccessful attempts to persuade the outlaws to renounce their conversion, fully reveals this great poet's insight into the Eternal Struggle - between good and evil.
