Human condition in the tragedies of fate by Ancient Greeks, Wyspiański and Sartre

Summary/Abstract: In the article I introduced selected concepts of fate expressedin the dramatic works by authors of different cultural backgrounds, at various stages of the development of civilisation. Byanalysing the selected literary works, I presented a multidimensional man’s attitude toward metaphysics, the consciousness ofthe aim of his life and death, based on the works of great artists who are both sensitive observers revealing the spirit of theirown times and educators promoting their courageous outlookon the stage. The works of chosen artists showed that there iscertain connection between the way of understanding the human fate and formation of the mentality model and the degreeof moral and social activity of man, thus the condition of theentire community, and consequently the nation.
