Zbirka iz 1963. godine predstavlja klasična dela srpske književnosti, značajna po svojoj aktuelnosti i univerzalnim temama.
Sterijine komedije, pisane živopisnim jezikom i sa oštrim humorom, kritikuju društvene norme, malograđanstvo i ljudske slabosti, a istovremeno pružaju zabavu kroz duhovite dijaloge i obrte.
Together, these two comedies show Steria as a master of satire, who exposes society's flaws through humor: in "Tvrdica" human greed, and in "Rodoljupci" political hypocrisy.
In the comedy "Suspicious Face" Nušić makes fun of society at that time with all the flaws he sees in the government under the rule of the Obrenović dynasty. The comedy "Deceased" is the last comedy written by Nušić at the age of 70, with a similar theme.
