Who is red Magda – reflections on a short story by Stefan Grabiński
Abstract
The article looks at one of the short stories by Grabiński from the anthropological perspective. Magda, “the daughter of flames”, is a character that arouses ambivalent emotions in the father, in the residents of the town in which arsons take place and even in herself. To say that Magda is a pyromaniac is an understatement. The girl is also a priestess of fire, a stranger, a scapegoat, a nightmare, an anthropomorphism of the fire. She is a border character who cannot be defined. However, the main point is not to define her but to pose more and more questions – who is Magda? Who is she not? Is what she appears dependent on her or is it ingrained in the sphere of fatum that neither “the daughter of flames” nor anyone else can influence?
