Abstract

The forms of masculinity and femininity in Twardoch’s early works arise from a patriarchal and conservative vision of the world. Studying various aspects of these issues, the writer created characters representing the model of “internal” masculinity based on higher values (god, honour,
fatherland) and “external” masculinity based on material status, appearance, domination, violence, etc. Both models determine the social role of women, reducing them to a sexual object: a mother or a domestic servant. The writer presented patriarchy as beneficial to women; the
characters who rejected him quickly became unhappy. Twardoch’s later works broke this pattern, which led him to consider the crisis of masculinity.
