The house is an archetypal symbol, indicating a certain center of the world, a sacred place, an image, a reflection of the universe. The house is one of the most frequent topos in Ion Creanga's work. In correspondence with the universe, the roof of the house is heaven, its windows are paths to divinity, and its body is the earth. Usually, the house symbolizes and represents those who live in it. The houses in the Crengian work have different meanings depending on the context. Thus, we have divided the topos of the house in Creanga's work into several categories: houses of housekeepers, evil houses, adjuvant houses, etc., noting that the writer compares them all (both those in Memories... and those in Stories) with his own parental home (the etalon-house), because it represents the source, the spring to which the child soul of the adult turns. Therefore, the topos of the house in Creanga's work is a real, peasant one.
