Both novels analysed in the article (Władysław Reymont’s Vampire written at the beginning of the 20th century and contemporary Apokryf Agłai by Jerzy Sosnowski) present the fall of a man seduced by a demonic woman. Daisy (a vampire) and Lilka¬ Agłaja (a cyborg) are capable, due to their dangerous beauty, of destroying men’s careers, family life, hapiness and sanity. In these texts femininity is traditionally described as something monstrous and dangerous. A psychoanalytical reading (which follows Klein and Freud) leads to a categorization of the sources of such stereotypical images. The mental states of the characters, as described in both novels, are very similar. The regressive symptoms are highlighted – men’s psyches regress to the paranoid and schizoid state, where primary mechanisms of defence seem to dominate. The images of the femme fatale are influenced by the projection of a split, negative object. They aim at preventing an object from final destruction. The author of the article creates a hypothesis that patriarchal culture influences the defence strategies used by the heroes of both novels. Pariarchal culture represses men that show weakness and denies them the right to be called men. However, it accepts weaknesses when they are disguised as misogynistic attitudes. If a man cannot accept weakness, as belonging to him, he must make a woman responsible for it (even on the level of subconscious defence strategies).

The article is an analysis of the well-known and popular novel by Jerzy Sosnowski – “Apocrypha of Aglaya”. Although the problem of the unusual complexity of the story and the mystery of the sense within it is usually raised, the author of the article believes that the work can be examined with simple analytical tools, without resorting to analytical instruments more complex than those used at school. Obviously “Apocrypha of Aglaya” draws on various traditions and conventions, but it is generally based on known plot patterns. However, it is original and valuable, it contains important statements about the modern condition of man, without ceasing to be a romance and a thriller. The article is methodologically structuralist and opposes postmodern research trends.
