Deep psychologism, emphasis on feelings and lyricism are characteristic of Marko Vovchok's works.

«Marusya» — is a story about the adventures of a Ukrainian girl Marusya in the times of Ukrainian Ruin and the girl's attempts to help liberate Ukraine from foreign domination.

«The Instructress» — is a social and psychological story, which sharply raises the problem of lordly power over ordinary people. The arrogance and capriciousness of the lords cause indignation, and the honesty and kindness of the servile people evoke sympathy and compassion.

«Father Andriy» — is a story about the happy fate of the lovers Tymosh and Oksana, who managed to get married and avoid the anger of the lord who wanted to dishonour the girl. The image of Father Andriy is the embodiment of fair judgement and dignity. The work depicts the theme of the destructive power of lords.

«Maxim Hrymach» — is a story written in the spirit of romanticism. The power of love and the inevitability of fate are combined in the tragic images of a young girl and a young man who were not destined to wait for the wedding. The coffin became a wedding bed, and only the eternal pain in the heart will remind the father of his eldest daughter.
