Abstract

The article considers the motif of rape – one of the most important in Włodzimierz Odojewski’s prose. The author is interested in different examples of sexual violence against women: from patriarchal violation to war rape. In each case both the woman’s body and psyche (stigmatized with indelible trauma) are being analysed as well as the heroines‘ life after the rape. The author of the article also confronts these extreme experiences of women from a man’s point of view (that of the narrator and male characters), trying to answer the question, can rape be narrated and intimacy recovered after such traumatic experiences?
