His incidental novels and journalistic ''feuilletons'' are not always moralistic or polished, but they are lively and amusing sketches of life. He is more prolific in historical drama and comedy.Nušić's ability to blend humor with a biting critque of society ensures that his plays remain relevant and appreciated. Of his plays, the most popular are comedies ''The Cabinet Minister's Wife'' (Госпођа министарка), ''A Suspicious Person'' (Сумњиво лице), ''A Member of the Parliament'' (Народни посланик), ''Bereaved Family'' (Ожалошћена породица), ''The Deceased'' (Покојник), and ''Doctor'' (Др). Through his plays, Nušić presented Serbian society and the mentality of the middle class in small towns and counties. He brought to the stage not only the retailers, canton captains, semi-educated officers, and current and former ministers' wives, but also formerly distinguished and overly ambitious householders, their decadent sons, failed students, distinguished daughters of marriageable age, and greedy upstarts.<ref name="Komediografski postupak Branislava Nušića">{{cite book\|last=Maksimović\|first=Goran\|title=Sabrane komedije / Branislav Nušić\|publisher=Jedan tom\|year=2005\|pages=623\|isbn=86-17-12756-2}}</ref> Line 138 ⟶ 137: * [http://www.union-theatres-europe.eu/UNIQ144906476620644/home/pokojnik__the_deceased The Deceased] * [http://www.thefreelibrary.com/The+cabinet+minister's+wife.-a0165021292 The Cabinet Minister's Wife] ~~__NOTOC__~~ {{commons category\|Branislav Nušić}}
