Mit religijny w poezji Zbigniewa Herberta

In her interpretation of Zbigniew Herbert’s poem the author refers to the archetypal and mitographic critique of Northrop Frye and shows a relation between the mythical model of the universe and a structure of the poem’s world. The author also suggests, that the idea of emotional bond and sympathy among people which is implied in the text, is questioned and negated by the confrontation with the mythical structure. In Zbigniew Herbert’s poem a religious myth is no longer Christian, and the archetype of flood indirectly points out the necessity of rebirth and renewal.
