In his work titled Wymiary dzieła literackiego (The dimension of a literary work) Henryk Markiewicz wrote that among the issues related to literary characters there is a function of the protagonist towards “other elements of the work, characters from other works, extraliterary reality”. The subject of this article are women in the work of Jewish writers. The deliberations based on anthropology concern the following works: Satan in Goray and The Magician of Lublin by Isaac Bashevis Singer, From the Fair by Sholem Aleichem and The Nazarene by Sholem Asch. The beginning of the article, showing the social standing of Jewish women, dictated by the Torah and other sources of Israeli law as well as social conventions, introduces the reader into various ways of realization of the invariant dependent on those rules. The characters described have been presented in the way that makes it possible to discern both similarities and contrasts.

The aim of the paper is to present the dramatic works of Sholem Asch with reference to the basic characteristics of the Young Poland period “interior drama”, further specified by Jerzy Waligóra as a manifestation of the processes of drama subjectivisation in the late 19th/early 20th century. Departing from the traditional perception of Asch’s dramatic works in the context of the literary heritage of the Polish-Jewish borderlands or the modernist symbolic drama makes it possible to interpret his works as identity drama, based on the need to choose between what was and what will be, between the past with its tradition on the one hand, and the present with the related modernity on the other hand.
