Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on rarely noticed aspects of the phenomenon of resistance against circumstances perceived as oppressive or, for various reasons, difficult to be accepted. First, it will be the lack of resistance; second, resistance against a creative cognition of the New/Other, against opening oneself to them as something enriching. Radek Rak’s Baśń o wężowym sercu… will serve as an equivocal literary example.
