O knihe
Garab oral literature, rich in traditional tales called sigi, offers a fascinating window into the culture and values of this community. These tales often feature vulnerable characters facing challenges and adversity. By analyzing the way these characters are portrayed, we can better understand the themes and messages conveyed by this form of oral literature. Sigi depict a wide range of vulnerable characters: abused children, orphans and abandoned children, widows and exploited women, the elderly and the sick, strangers and social outcasts, even executioners who become vulnerable in the end. These characters are often discriminated against, abused or scorned by the community and by cynical or sadistic predators. Their vulnerability is physical, social, economic and psychological. In sigi, vulnerable characters often play a central role in the plot.
