In modern Europe, the 16th century was a turning point in history where identities and values ​​were called into question. Faced with the fluctuating state of identities, could the crisis of the centralization of power precipitate skepticism towards the heroes of The Return of Martin Guerre? Can the monumental epistemological changes of the time (e.g. the Reformations and Counter-Reformation, the rise of Protestantism, the rational individualization of thought) be adequately conveyed or fully reflected using micro- stories? The purpose of micro-history is to use a micro-story as a means of representing a larger macro-culture. Microhistory focuses on a single individual or region, often representing peasant culture. In The Return of Martin Guerre, we take care to make them accessible, without focusing directly on the macro characteristics encompassing the events of the time. The goal is to attract the reader to the intended goal, whether it is the community or the individual. Davis' The Return of Martin War is a challenge when trying to connect the heroes to current or modern times. Despite Arnaud's shaky morals, behavior, or ethical actions, he still managed to develop a modern identity. He actually presented himself in the necessary role of Martin Guerre, as if he were a professional actor or artist. Davis shapes Arnaud as the link between popular and elite cultures – using his self-modeled role-playing from 16th century elite circles. . Does Arnaud succeed in demonstrating the 16th century sense of personal identity by using his own way of fashioning himself into the identity of another man? He successfully recognizes this personal identity and delivers this role-play with ease. However, the ease and acceptance of micro-story cannot prove or guarantee that the hero represents true peasant culture. She uses sympathy for the subjects as a way to personalize and identify their story to the reader. In doing so, it is easier to present the micro-historical protagonists as a representation of peasant culture. It focuses on the subjects and their micro-narrative sequence of events without the perspective of the macro-story. In reality, Davis cannot confirm or support a complete depiction of peasant culture, but rather conveys her interpretation of the subject at hand, and perhaps herself as well. Additionally, the micro-historical events left the viewer to their own interpretations and imaginations. what happened. The intention to use popular culture to convincingly reproduce the philosophical epistemological changes of modern Europe is questioned.
