"My interpretation of Gombrowicz's drama could be called a wedding at the bottom. For me, this term opens up very different perspectives of reception - the Manichean horizon of hopelessness, principles, the ability to know and the horizon of despair in which everything melts. I tried to read this drama through" Divine Comedy " Dante. What Henryk sees in his dream is pre-hell. His inmates are people who are candidates for hell, but who will never end up there, because they managed to kill the man in themselves, remove the responsibility for evil from themselves. circles of Dante's hell, the wedding appears as a search for an absolute bond in a world devoid of the absolute, it expresses the desire for the impossible - the desire to reflect God in creation.
