The primary task of this paper, through comparative reading literary works (WAY ALIJA ĐERZELEZ, MUSTAFA MADŽAR and OMERPAŠA LATAS), is to detect traits which connect the central characters in the above mentioned works of Ivo Andric. In the paper the literary methods used by the author in the form of short stories/novels (i. e. character focused novels and character focused short stories) and the male characters of strongly violent personality, who are determined by their idiosyncracies in regards to the environment from which they came and in which they act and which they influence, without exception, tragically, will also be considered. Alija Đerzelez is one of the starting points when it comes to the violent personality, and Omerpaša Latas is one of the final ones because, as is it well known, this work has not been published during the author's lifetime. Between these two reference points (seen from the position of forming the figure of a ruffian), the whole gallery of portraits was placed, to paraphrase the critics, which are completely determined by their "starting point", but also by the people without the human "ultimate goal". Although these characters are not primarily the focus of our deliberation, we will consider them to the extent necessary to argue the thesis of a kind of evolution, apropos the mimicry of violent personality (Omerpaša Latas).
