Motywy o cechach symboli w opisach miłości incestualnej. O trzech powieściach Andrzeja Kuśniewicza

Incestual love between brother and sister is depicted in three novels by Andrzej Kuśniewicz – it is suggested already in “Eroica” (1963), fully developed in “Król Obojga Sycylii” (1970) and re-turns in “Stan nieważkości” (1973). In these pieces of work appear three distinct motives: wom-an, devil and blood. They contain symbolic meaning and therefore enrich interpretation of the numerous scenes, which are fragmentary and vague. Close reading of the novels and comparing them with one another helps to fully understand author’s writing and reconstruct complex expe-riences of his characters. It proves that the motif of incestual love could be described as a coher-ent entirety in Kuśniewicz’s work.
