Medytacja obecności. "Dramaty wnętrza" Karola Wojtyły

Abstract

The works by Karol Wojtyła: Our God's Brother (1945-1950), The Jeweler's Shop (1960) and Radiation o f Fatherhood (1964) form a drama trilogy the cohesion of which is expressed in gradual realisation of the forms of “ inner dramas” and "dramatic meditation” which were adopted through the idea of word theater of Mieczysław Kotlarczyk. A reader’s attention is focused on the inside of the character. The significant shift in the formal level of the drama from outside action to inside action correlates with the topic - common for the three works, i.e. difficult process of inner growing up and conscious growing up to one’s destiny. The process is showed here as inseparably connected with recognizing and accepting the presence of God, and God’s love within one’s soul and existence.
