"LUDZIE SWE LOSY WRÓŻĄ Z KWIATÓW" "KWIATY POLSKIE" JULIANA TUWIMA W PERSPEKTYWIE NARRATOLOGII
"LUDZIE SWE LOSY WRÓŻĄ Z KWIATÓW [PEOPLE TELL THEIR FORTUNE FROM FLOWERS]" JULIAN TUWIM'S "KWIATY POLSKIE" ("POLISH FLOWERS") IN A NARRATOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt at a narratological interpretation of Julian Tuwim's poem, in which the fictional plot is inextricably mixed with an autobiographical thread. As a result, the position of the narrative subject and his position in the world presented are altered, as are those of the personal narrators and focalizers. Though the subject of memories is one of the protagonists and has varying degrees of contact with the characters who participate in the fictional narrative, he also appears in peculiar situations in which the range of information about the deeds of other characters that he possesses cannot be justified by his copresence in the course of action. The autothematic fragment of the poem is treated as a key to the technique of creation employed in the work, but it also complexifies the mechanisms of fictional creation. The figure responsible for that is gardener Ignacy Dziewierski one of the main protagonist, erstwhile third person singular character. A suggestion placed at the end of the piece is that it was Tuwim who conjured all the figures when observing the making of a floral bouquet described in the first lines of the work.
