The bachelor's thesis discusses characters from Cankar’s and Ibsen’s plays. In doing so it focuses on two protagonists – the village mogul Kantor from Cankar’s play Kralj na Betajnovi (The King of Betajnova) and Consul Bernick from Ibsen’s Pillars of Society. The thesis describes Cankar’s knowledge of Ibsen and his work, then with the method called Big Five personality traits (also ‘Big Five’) gives thorough analysis of dramatic characters and analyses the conflict between them. We observed that despite Ibsen’s influence on Cankar, The King of Betajnova and The Pillars of Society are not consistent in their essential ideas.
