Abstract

This thesis represents the perspective of certain non-anthropomorphic characters from the novel „The Mathematician’s Daughter” written by Venko Andonovski, which also shows their symbolism. This thesis shows the semiology of the non-anthropomorphic character and the terms are defined and described from the literature-theoretic aspect through quotes. In this novel, we analyze the number „Pi“, the fire, the monastery, the light, and the mirror as non-anthropomorphic characters. The primary point of this thesis is to show the non-anthropomorphic characters of the novel. The non-anthropomorphic characters and their function in the novel are successfully analyzed and described through examples, quotes and schematics.

Keywords: character, Venko Andonovski, novel, non-anthropomorphic, symbol.
