Motyw biesiady i uczty w Trylogii Henryka Sienkiewicza jako przejaw siedemnastowiecznej dworkowo-sarmackiej cywilizacji

Abstract

The article is an analysis of the feast theme in ‘Trilogy’ as the element of Sarmatian and manor house civilization. Juxtaposition of the feast theme with the war theme as the ones that are connected semantically, shows analogy in the way they are presented and at the same time illustrates the époque colour. Both are presented in the similar way and both have similar visual and artistic dimension. The picture of war camp life and enemy encounters is visually suggestive. The feast is also presented in a wide range ֊ from big and magnificent feasts to small private meals. Since the theme of feast wasn’t examined with such insight as the theme of war, I am analyzing this subject in my article.
