Keeping in mind that the term exile has usually been connected to term of revolt, as the act of opposing someone or something, and the fact that it was done ever since the beginning of time, this master thesis will try to represent how these two terms are realized in plays Medea (Euripidus), Nora (Henrik Ibsen) and Three Winters (Tena Štivičić) – that also belong to different time and literary frames. The manner in which revolt and (self-)exile are depicted will be analyzed on the basis of female characters i.e. their role as a wife and/or a mother, and their actions. Regarding the Brustein’s typology of revolt, the thesis will explore which type of it (messianic, social and existential) appears in each of the aforementioned plays. Moreover, since the more dominant role belongs to female characters, this paper will study how patriarchal myth of a woman is debunked. Also, it will present the development of theater and plays, biography of authors and main determinants of plays with the focus on typology of actions within the text itself as a way of accentuating the revolt of authors.
