Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the article is to present the existential situation of Richard Weiner, Czech author, who is a typical representative of the modern era. The author of the article refers in her findings to the late Weiner’s work Hra doopravdy. The article focuses on the problem of alienation of the individual, disintegration of personality and attempts to merge it. The text demonstrates spheres of estrangement in the relations with the Other, inter alia the otherness of sexual orientation, which leads to the destruction of the individual’s subjectivity. He refers to the ideas of Jacques Lacan, Julia Kristeva, and German Ritz.
