person
Zebedeus Duló
Duló
also: Duló Zebedeus táblabíró
The fictional narrator-protagonist of 'The Adventures of Zebedeus Duló' — a proud, ignorant, provincial Hungarian nobleman who travels to Pest to find a city bride at his father's command and suffers a sequence of comic disasters. His name is mock-heroic: 'Duló' suggests 'ravager' and 'Zebedeus' is a comically solemn biblical name.
