The famous Croatian drama The Glembays are the masterpiece of the Croatian drama. Every student in Croatia has to study this drama. When I met the text for the first time at the age of 17, I was not impressed and did not like it much. It was a boring text with lots of German words and sentences that interfered with the reading. Many years later this drama has become my most beloved drama, that I have read at least ten times since. As I was growing older, possibly due to my own maturation, I realised more and more levels of the text. The complex interrelations between the characters (conflicts among spouses, relations with lovers and ex-lovers, parent-child relations) have become more familiar as I was going through my life stages (and for example become a parent). Being a parent, I was able to see the conflict from a different perspective (as a parent, not only as a child). Also, with my medical studies and training in psychiatry, I was able to understand many suicides that appear in the drama from a different standpoint. With every new reading of the play, with me being different (due to the years passing, me having new roles – as a partner, parent, psychiatrist) I had new thoughts and emotions toward the characters of the play. Twenty years later, after reading the same text, the amoral mistress of the old Glembay, the baroness Castelli-Glembay, who had many lovers and even had an affair with her husband's son, was not as deviant when I was 40 and it was possible for me to understand her life struggle from poverty from another perspective, compared to my thoughts when I was 20. This drama was put to the stage many times with different actors during the years, but one film version was the best for me. I like the film version because of the (in my opinion) appropriate stressing of the important words in a sentence, because the actors had the tone of voice and way of pronunciation and body language that was the same to the one I imagined when I was reading the text. Therefore, no other actors can repeat the same, and I was disappointed with every new theatre performance of the play since. Finally, there is even a ballet performance of the Glembays, which I was delighted with. I expect that when I grow even older, and get retired or when I will have grandchildren, I will find new perspectives and ideas in the same drama.
