The sketch makes an attempt to build a new typology of female characters in Andrzej Kuśniewicz’s selected novels with a view to the functions they perform. The author lists five main functions which women undertake in selected texts, and they are as follows: woman as an absentee, woman as the one who adopts male symbolism, woman as a projection of male fantasy, femininity as a threat, and woman as an element of biology. Such ordering, according to the author, makes it possible to join the numerous features and cultural meanings usually ascribed to “the second sex,” thus facilitating a broader analysis of the women protagonist’s embroilment in the matters created by males, not limited to one only feature. In the second part of the paper the author proposes some interpretations of selected figures with resort to the described methodology and enriching it with the tools developed by gender and men studies.
