Aim. This study focuses on the biblical layer found within the stories of Mitrush Kuteli. Through a multi-faceted approach, the study aims to shed light on the intricate layers of meaning embedded in Kuteli's narratives and their significance within the broader context of Albanian literature and cultural history. It also offers a detailed psychoanalytic interpretation of Kuteli's use of biblical elements, exploring their symbolic meanings and psychological implications.

Methods. The research employs a combination of cultural, biographical, descriptive, and analytical methods to explore and understand the unique biblical dimension in Kuteli's work.

Results. It classifies and analyses the different types of perceptions (sensory, fantastic, biblical, and universal) present in Kuteli's work. By investigating these aspects, the study provides a nuanced understanding of Mitrush Kuteli's literary contributions and the intricate layers of meaning within his work.

Conclusion. Intertextuality serves as a valuable resource for writers to establish fresh interpretations and links among various texts, concepts, and cultures. The use of metaphorical language effectively expresses intricate emotions and ideas while also enhancing the overall atmosphere and tone of a story. The conflict between the tangible and the intangible is a core element of human experience, and literature often delves into this conflict to illuminate our perception of both ourselves and the surrounding world.
