Disturbing Aspects of Romantic Visuality in Słowacki’s Lambro and Kordian

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to look at the disturbing aspects of visuality in Juliusz Słowacki’sLambro and Kordian. The paper proposes inquiry into the role of seeing and being seenin the Romantic characters marked by the ideological concerns of Słowacki’s time. It leads to the question of the ambitions of the Romantic visual subject. For both Lambroand Kordian, the eye – one’s own as well as another’s – becomes a source of anxiety,and the protagonists’ aspirations to control their own vision and the gazes of others areconsistently challenged in both works.
