Miasto – przestrzeń przyjazna czy wroga człowiekowi | Lalka. Pytanie numer 32 - matura ustna 2025.

The city – a friendly or hostile space for humanity? This matriculation exam question from the open-book list for the 2025 oral exam is the subject of this film. Based on Bolesław Prus's "The Doll," we discuss the image of the city as a space hostile to humanity. We analyze Warsaw at the end of the 19th century – a place full of social contrasts and moral decline. We also examine Paris as a city of dynamic development and contrast these images with Łódź, as depicted in Władysław Reymont's "The Promised Land." In the film, you will find: a detailed analysis of Bolesław Prus's "The Doll" in the context of urban space; a discussion of the relationship between humanity and the city; a literary context based on Władysław Reymont's "The Promised Land"; arguments and examples from literary texts. If you are preparing for the 2025 oral matriculation exam or are interested in analyzing Polish literature – this film is for you!
