J.I. Kraszewski’s maladic interests influenced his novel concepts and served him to diagnose social diseases. Such maladic strategies can be seen in a novel written in the early 1970s Morituri, which suggests the state of illness with its very title. The most expressive (and perhaps also treated as synecdoche) in this connection is the thread of General Hugo Brański, a representative of an aristocratic family, whose destruction is the subject of the work (the writer also took up this subject in other novels).
The literary description of the general’s falling into illness is an artistic example of the clinical image of paranoid schizophrenia. In describing this illness, Kraszewski demonstrated both intuition and perhaps the ability to observe and probably knowledge of this illness (at that time still unnamed), about which he had read in the medical literature of the time.
