- Abstract
The paper focuses on the question of strong women and the concept of travesty in the novel Baltagul written by M. Sadoveanu. The text is centred on a strong female character, thus giving birth to a tradition, a literary topos that of the widow. Treated as a role, a cultural stereotype, Vitoria Lipan uses it to subvert an entire patriarchal culture. The relationship with the concept of travesty - itself a dimension of the carnavalesque - is put is analysed, starting from the following components: the suspension of the existing moral order, the temporary release under the power of the dominant truth, assuming liberties otherwise forbidden, the predilection for wearing a mask, the inversion of social roles, overturning binary oppositions that describe world hierarchies. The main character undertakes a journey that for herself means entering a new world, that of men, and into the language. Vitoria plays a role which she uses as a shield; under its protection she attacks the dominant moral order. Her behaviour is transgressive, her language aggressive; is stands for the liberties that she is ready to assume.
