The aim of this research is to find out more, to become more familiar with female characters in Croatian smješnice. Besides that and before everything I will be focusing on this literary kind.The first half of the seventeenth century, Croatian literature was marked by this type of comedy. I will be dealing with the impact of this period in general as well as the ways in which smješnice were found, their dating in relation to their publication, and the people who found them, which are also an important segment of this work. It is also important to know what genre determinants characterize them, I will write about the influences of erudite and comedy dell'arte that greatly shaped the ridiculousness by themselves and then influenced the construction of certain characters. They were mostly performed by dilettantes, which makes them different from the comedy dell'arte. I will list and show certain typical characters that appear in smješnice, athough not all of these characters are represented in the works that I was specifically dealing with. The impact on this comedy is quite strong, but I found some facts a bit different from the comedies which are mentioned. I will present three smješnice that which I chose: Starac Klimoje, Lukrecija ili Trojo and Šimun Dundurilo. In the end, I compared these female characters with each other, they have many similarities since they are typified and it is very easy to "fit" them into a certain type since almost every character is a representative of a certain type. With this portrayal of selected characters, I have proved that female characters play very important roles in this type of comedy and that very often they are the main wheels of the plot, which is by no means negligible.
