Summary/Abstract: In the text, I ask a question about the status of realism in 19th-century realistic literature in a situation where it is subjected to various social or moral taboos, as well as to political and patriotic censorship. In this theoretical circle, I try to include the problem of representing suicide in those texts, adding to it the parameter of biopolitics.
