Wierzenia ukraińskie w Zamku kaniowskim Seweryna Goszczyńskiego

Work of Goszczyński is a work with a characteristic of romanticism “night aura”
characteristic of Romanticism, which is discussed by many researchers. The sketch
about Ukrainian beliefs is an attempt to look at Goszczyński’s work through the
prism of folk beliefs. These beliefs do not affect the creation of the presented
world, but it seems that they determine the way of perceiving it, orient the understanding
of the elements of this world and drive the machine growing in the work
of horror. They also do not allow the characters of the sacred sphere to appear even
in the consciousness of the heroes, making their lives fatalistic and hopeless.
