English The Comedienne E-text prepared by Andrew Leader of polishwriting.net "The Comedienne" by Władysław Stanisław Reymont is a novel written in the early 20th century. This tale revolves around Janina, the daughter of a provincial station-master, who is determined to escape her oppressive home life and pursue her passion for the theater. The narrative explores her struggles against societal expectations and familial pressures as she embarks on a journey toward independence. The opening of the book introduces us to various characters in the quiet setting of Bukowiec, particularly focusing on Janina, who is faced with the unwanted advances of a suitor, Grzesikiewicz, and the harsh expectations of her father, Orlowski. The story begins with a glimpse of Janina's longing for freedom as she reacts against her father’s coercive plans to marry her off, revealing her fierce determination not to conform to the traditional roles expected of women in her society. As the tension escalates between Janina and her father, her eventual decision to leave for the theater marks the beginning of her struggles in a new, chaotic world, setting the stage for her quest for self-discovery and fulfillment.
