ABSTRACT:
The presentation examines the unique relationship of drama and prose through the hungarian writer, János Háy's book, entitled Gézagyerek.
Gézagyerek is a sequence of dramas and short stories that have the same title, and in general outlines they have a similar theme; these short stories and dramas by over- and rewriting the rest explain and complement each other. The problem of crossing the boundaries of literary forms, or also appeared in Marlon and Marion; moreover, strictly speaking the Háy life-work as a whole can be interpreted as a thematization of this problem-while Háy's poetry is consequently under-, his prose is over-rhetorized.
Certainly the most obvious question is whether the text of the short story can be rewritten in the language of an other mediality, the drama, and if it can be, what compromises have to be made.
While the plot is more or less fixed (in the main outlines the same events happen in the short stories and in the dramas), the emphasis of motivation often shifts. The connections between similarities and differences can mean that both the drama and the short story are interpretations of the same story; however, none of these interpretations is 'more true' or 'more real' than the rest. If we accept that the drama and the short story are able to show different segments of reality, we can make the statement that the drama and the short story together share with us experiences that are different and more than what either the drama or the short story separately can give us.
