Abstract

This article is an attempt to reconstruction of ways in which Zofia Nalkowska pictured love in her modernist novel Kobiety and I volume of Diaries. The subject of the analysis were lexical exponents calling love and metaphoric pictures of love. As the gathered material showed in Nalkowska’s modernist works dominates picturing love as a battle, constant struggles between woman and man. Vocabulary calling women’s and men’s relations and metaphoric names of the sides of this love battle were used to represent it. Due to the young age of the author we can assume that the way of picturing love wasn’t a result of her own experience but cultural context (influence of modernist literature and art).
