Ból i tabletka — tekst i intencja autorska („Umarł mi. Notatnik żałoby” Ingi Iwasiów)
The pain and the pill — text and intention of the author („Umarł mi. Notatnik żałoby” / „He died. The diary of Mourning” by Inga Iwasiów)

Summary/Abstract: The article aims at showing how the author’s intention may be utilized for the purpose of interpretation in high school. The guiding thought of the present deliberation is the reflection by Umberto Eco stating that the empirical author has the right to react as a model reader. By using the modern song „Umarł mi. Notatnik żałoby” (2013) in the lesson, it is possible to demonstrate to students that the meaning of the text is independent of the author’s will, and that the interpretation may be in opposition to their intentions. However, what is the most important is that such a school reading of works make the interpretation seem to be in constant motion.
