The author defines ontic evil in contrast to moral evil. The latter involves a conscious and free choice of an individual, while the former is a synonym to suffering, sickness, physical and spiritual handicap, man’s mortality and his “feeling of personal villainy” (Ricoeur). Perceived in this way, the evil is traced in psychological picture of selected characters in Gombrowicz’s Cosmos (Kosmos) (Witold, Mrs. Kulka, and Ludwik), as well as in Pornography (Pornografia) (Siemian and Amelia), and further on developed in reflections on Gombrowicz’s provocative discourse in his Diary (3) (Dziennik <3>) where he formulated a thesis that Hitler is present in every Pole. Fiala interpretes this statement in st. Paul’s biblical anthropology registers as a figure of susceptibility to evil embedded in every person.
