The Negativistic Female Personality in Cham by Eliza Orzeszkowa

Abstracts

EN

Eliza Orzeszkowa created a religious protagonist and a portrait of the negativistic female personalityin the novel Cham [ The Boor], which tells the story of a fisherman. The two-way antievaluationreveals itself in Franka’s character. On the one hand, it concerns pathological behaviourswhich are referred to as passive aggressive personality disorder in psychology, and are characterizedby sullenness, fast transition from unjustified rebellion to remorse, high assertiveness, and resentment.On the other hand, it points to the rejection of the higher class connected with the axiologicalbasis aiming at the degeneration of humanity. Franka Chomcówna is a socio-cultural product– an effect of the premature sexualization of a child who, in her adult life, aims at destruction.Thereby, the objectification of the protagonist ends with a suicidal act.
