Jakie słowo mówi Bóg? Mysterium tremendum w Klątwie Stanisława Wyspiańskiego

Abstract

The article aims to analyze and interpret Stanisław Wyspiański’s The Curse [Klątwa] in terms of symbolism and mysticism in the work. The author focuses on three significant figures: God, the Apocalypse, and the Word, recalling the cultural, mythological, and religious contexts. The author demonstrates the great artistic awareness of Stanisław Wyspiański by presenting a broad spectrum of symbolic and cultural references that the writer included in his text. The element that connects the considerations is the experience of mysterium tremendum, which remains the primary form of experiencing the sacred by the drama’s characters.
