The results of the analysis showed that contrast was the essence of the comedy in the pages of selected works. It reflected the dichotomous vision of the world presented by the sender and recipient of the texts; a world in which Poles of Jewish origin were negatively evaluated. The presented comic texts, by spreading anti-Semitism, and harming representatives of the ethnic minority, are part of the phenomenon of linguistic aggression.
