This graduation paper deals with Božidar Prosenjak and his novel The Wilde Horse. In several examples of characterization from Prosenjak's novel we will notice how author depicts and displays human characteristics through the life of horses. Although the novel The Wild Horse may seem like an ordinary animalistic novel, it is certainly much more than that. This novel actually represents human spiritual maturing. Further, in this paper, I will address the religious side of this novel and try to show how some passages in the novel correspond to some passages from the Bible. The afore-mentioned novel constitutes obligatory reading in primary schools, which is not surprising, since it contains plenty of life messages, most of them expressed by means of symbols that can be used as a guide for young people. I will endeavour to evoke a desire to re-read this novel in everyone by the time they have finished reading this graduation paper, with a certainty that it hides much more profound message than primary school children are able to understand, due to the fact that it is complex and can be interpreted on different levels.
