„Uchwycić przeszłość” – Nałkowska i Ibsen

Abstract

The article discusses artistic relations and “common places” in the works of Zofia Nałkowska and Henrik Ibsen. The basic concept for the analysis of their plays is the gaze that synthesizes events and allows us to capture changes. Nałkowska started writing plays in the third phase of her creative work (Ludwik Fryde) and considered them “little laboratories”. Like Ibsen, the Polish writer was interested in the “naked truth” about man; she wanted to understand his life choices and introduce him to the world of meanings.
