This graduate thesis concetrates on the teaching of the archetypal literary theory as in the example of Božić's Kurlani with reference to the arcehtypes that can be adapted in Božić's characters and plot of Trilogy. This thesis also contains a display of Mirko Božić's literary work where a special emphasis is put on his Trilogy of the Kurlani as well as bibliographic information about the author. Futhermore, a theory related to the teaching of literature and its reception is presented, as well as the emergence and criticisms of archetypal literary theory. The theoretical part's purpose is to analyze the pracitcal part of this graduate thesis. It is based on the presentation of three lessons that are covered during the Croatian Language classes where the Trilogy and the archetypal literary theory are covered. It can be concluded that Trilogy, Kurlani, Neisplakani and Tijela i duhovi are rich with archetypes of mothers, mistresses, sufferers and victims and that Mirko Božić devoted most of his attention to female characters. Meanwhile, the archetype of quarrels between brothers is marked by the the entire Kurlani as is fratricide which is portrayed by the character of Andrija. Three class preparations are also brought to the Literature classes through the stages of school interpretation which can be used in the Croatian Language classes.
