Dubravka is a work of older Croatian literature that is difficult to define in terms of genre due to the identification of the terms tragicomedy, librettist drama and the intertwining of the characteristics of the mentioned genres in Gundulić's drama. In his work, Gundulić presented the socio-political issues of his time. Thematizing the intolerance between the nobility and the bourgeoisie. Also, the work glorifies the freedom of Dubrovnik, because of which Dubrovnik had a developed economy and culture. The central part analyzes the peculiarities of the genres in the work. The plot of the work is set in a pastoral world, which makes the work largely pastoral, the characters are typically pastoral and the theme is love. Gundulić also introduces comedy into his work, primarily through the characters of satire by disturbing the high solemn tone, and by twisting the pastoral and idyllic through funny performances of satire. Stylistic figures are associated with certain genres. The allegorical world and the relationship of the characters in the figurative sense represent the Republic of Dubrovnik and its people. Then, hyperbole is in the function of revealing emotional states or exaggerating which causes a comic effect within the work. The third stylistic figure analyzed is the antithesis. The political and social reality of Gundulić's time is presented with the help of antithetical couples. Dubravka is a librettist drama because it unites different types of genre features, and music is not the dominant component. The most appropriate genre is tragicomedy because there is a tragic event at the beginning, but it ends happily. The pastoral-idyllic atmosphere is dominant. Along with the pastoral world, Gundulić introduces comedy.
