In this article, we offer a summary of the most recent Polish studies about the undone poem Niedokonany by the modernist writer Tadeusz Miciński (1873-1918). This posthumous prose poem underwent complex vicissitudes and was probably still being revised by the author when he died in 1918. It could therefore be regarded as the ultimate attempt to structure his otherwise chaotic philosophical views. Unfortunately, given the “undoneness” of the work, its meaning is not clear. Is it, as Wojciech Gutowski claims, a representation of a failed Jungian reintegration process? Or should we rather consider it a metaphor for a human being trying to free the divine spark inside him, as Jarosław Ławski suggests? Both theories are indeed fascinating and seem well grounded, but some acute remarks by Jerzy Sosnowski unveil their inconsistencies and hint at yet another interpretation.

Satan and the origins of Evil have fascinated mankind since the dawn of time. Therefore, this article attempts to answer the question who is Satan and why is he often identified with Lucifer? We will then follow his fate written on the pages of the Holy Bible and apocryphal literature, and finally compare Satan with the title character of the popular TV series Lucifer. Thus it will be possible to answer the next question – to what extent the protagonist of the series, the personification of the common ideas about Satan rooted in popular culture, resembles his biblical prototype.

Szatan i początki Zła fascynują ludzkość od zarania dziejów. W artykule podjęta zostanie próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, kim jest Szatan i dlaczego bywa często utożsamiany z Lucyferem? Prześledzimy następnie jego losy spisane na kartach Pisma Świętego oraz literatury apokryficznej, by na koniec porównać Szatana z tytułowym bohaterem popularnego w ostatnich latach serialu Lucyfer. Dzięki temu możliwa będzie odpowiedź na kolejne pytanie – w jakim stopniu serialowy bohater, uosobienie zakorzenionych w popkulturze powszechnych wyobrażeń na temat postaci Szatana, przypomina swój biblijny pierwowzór.
