Pieśni chóru pod skreśleniem w "Zawiszy Czarnym" Juliusza Słowackiego

subject

description

The manuscript of the drama about Zawisza Czarny (unreleased during the poet’s life) is divided in editions and critical analyzes into two, three or four editorials in which individual scenes sometimes obtained more than one study. There are significant differences between the various editorial regarding the construction of the presented world, which is evidenced by the condition and function of the choir, present only in two out of four editors (C and D) and in different studies of one episode (D, C2 and C1). The choir (Chorus) once remains merely a retinue of the powerful spirit of the mythical Wanda (D), other times it shortens its distance from the characters and may even join their dialogue (C2), while at other times as a distant witness it interprets the sense of dramatic events in a cosmic perspective history of the Spirit and refers to the content of the mystical visions of the characters who turn out to be incarnations of ghosts – creative like Zawisza or passive like Jagiełło (C) or the passion of Zawisza fighting with creative spirits, he symbolically moves into the space stretched between the sacrifice of Christ and the experience of Orestes (C1).
