In Liviu Rebreanu's realist novel Ion (1920), what are the two main drives dividing the protagonist's life?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Glasul pământului (voice of the land) and glasul iubirii (voice of love)
- Step 1: Rebreanu structures the bipartite novel around Ion's obsession with land (Ana) and passionate desire for Florica. Answer: Glasul pământului (voice of the land) and glasul iubirii (voice of love). Why not the others: The duality of 'glasul pământului' and 'glasul iubirii' forms the explicit structural axis of Rebreanu's masterpiece.
