The central theme of Olga Kobylyanska's narratives is a woman's "relationship" with the world around her. Her works explore the complex decision between pursuing personal happiness through marriage or sacrificing it for artistic endeavors. This dilemma is vividly portrayed in her stories "By Situations" and "Ideas." These narratives intricately weave together elements of fateful coincidences, mystical symbols, and hypnosis, all framed by dialogue on topics such as music, individual life choices, and the turbulent depths of a woman's soul. Themes of money and betrayal appear in various forms, further complicating the plot. Set against the backdrop of a world on the verge of World War I, the stories also depict the internal struggle of a young woman with an eccentric personality and unique name, Aglaya-Felicitas, as she finds herself torn between two men, unable to strike the perfect balance.
