Abstract

This article is a detailed comparative analysis of the attitudes and behaviour of Julka and Oliwia, two characters of Anna Cieplak’s novel Ma być czysto. I am particularly interested in a literary interpretation of chosen plots in sociological and psychological contexts. I assume the moment of a person’s transformation from a child into an adult is of particular importance to one’s identity development. It is at times difficult and teenagers often require family or institutional support. The article is going to pay special attention to the opportunities the characters’ growing up environment offers, trying to display one of the novel’s main themes, that is, social inequality and its influence on the teenagers’ individual development.
