Struktura postaci „Polowania na karaluchy” Janusza Głowackiego

Abstract

The main aim of the paper is to analyse the dramatic figures in “Huntig for Cockroaches” by Janusz Głowacki. The dramatic figure is a vital problem for the theory of drama and the theory of theatre. Author portrays contemporary figures, showing their existence and identities. He does it with irony and grotesque. An important problem that is posed is how emigrants try to find their place in a new society. Głowacki’s play is a reflection on wounded identity, both with regard to the human being in general and the author himself who is hidden within the characters.
