Kurent’s life is interesting, original and grotesque. Plagued by inner doubts ("You won’t make it, no matter how hard you try"), he takes it in stride and seeks his own path and meaning of life, as if ignoring apprehensions. He wants to become an emperor, apope, a musician, but it is the job of a priest and pastor that is in store for him. No wonder then that he sells his soul to be ableto indulge in merry tunes. He sells his soul unaware to secure his place under the sun. And yet his happiness is not destined to last long in the face of the sorrow, misfortune and tears that he encounters on his way.
