By reading Drzic's comedies I noticed the possibility of simultaneously observing familial themes from literary, anthropological and theatrical positions. Many authors have devoted special attention to research about how Drzic created his characters and the relationships between them. However, I think that there is a need for a more precise analysis of family relationships in his comedies. Drzic consciously exposes the issue and questions the cultural, literary and social conventions in Dubrovnik in the 16th century. That's why I allocated relationships of men and women, fathers and children, and with the servants and maids from the point of distortion or expansion of a patriarchal conception of the family in my work. I based my research on the Jan Assmann's research of memory and Manfred Pfister's access to drama, as well as the knowledge of literary and anthropological interpretation of Dunja Fališevac, Leo Rafolt, Valentin Gulin and Slavica Stojan. After analyzing the sub-themes that are in the subject of the family in comedies, I noticed absent of the mother in the emotional and biological sense. Women gained almost all possible social roles, but in the context of the family, the role of mother has been assigned partially to Variva and Dobre, especially in the context of care for family members.
