The Legend of Dragobete – Romanian Folk Story

Dragobete was celebrated on February 24, a special day when love and spring were believed to begin.

He was not a warrior or a god of winter, but the symbol of love, youth, and renewal.

He was known as the son of Baba Dochia and the guardian of love, youth, and nature.

On Dragobete’s Day, people said that birds started to sing, meet, and form pairs, announcing the rebirth of nature.

Nature itself seemed to change, showing new life, harmony, and fresh beginnings.

Young people gathered on this day to express their feelings, meet their loved ones, and celebrate love.

Dragobete did not bring gifts like modern celebrations; instead, he blessed sincere love and unity.

Even today, Dragobete remains an important symbol of Romanian traditions, folklore, and cultural identity.

The story of Mem û Zîn

1.The Duality of Love (Human vs. Divine)

​On the surface, it is a story of two lovers who cannot be together. However, Khani uses their earthly passion as a metaphor for Divine Love.

​The Clue: Their inability to unite in the physical world suggests that true union can only happen in the spiritual realm (the afterlife). Their death is not a defeat, but a "wedding" with the Divine.

​2. The Role of Beko (The Antagonist)

​Beko (Bakr) isn't just a "bad guy" or a jealous servant. He represents the Shadow or the obstacles of the ego.

​The Clue: In many interpretations, Beko is a necessary evil. Without his interference, Mem and Zîn’s love would remain ordinary. His malice pushes their love to a level of sacrifice that makes it eternal. Note that in the story, he is buried near them—symbolizing that even evil is part of the ultimate unity of existence.
