The hero of the text is the folk hero Ustym Karmeliuk. Marko Vovchok portrays him as a free man and as an almost fairy-tale hero. As befits a true romanticised hero, Marko Vovchok's Ustym Karmeliuk is endowed with a number of fairy-tale traits. He is the strongest, the bravest, the most beautiful, the kindest, and generally the best. The hero Ustym Karmeliuk leaves his family to fight for justice. He faithfully defends his dreams and believes in the best. The key to his worldview may be the phrase: "Let's hope for better times". Reading Karmelyuk is a good reason to think about whether those better times have come, or whether there is still something to fight for.
