>The second magic world of miss Elisabeth Wiatr was her never-never land where Apollo, the light god, reigned. She had his beautiful statue in her office and she was imagining him coming at nights and whispering the secrets about the heaven and earth “(…) which haven’t been told yet in the language of the living”.
The upbringing of Elizabeth Wiatr was characteristic for ladies from this social class. She was taught several languages and the social graces. She learnt how to coquette and talk properly. She was always behaving consciously and when she did something inappropriate she did that with premeditation.
I think that primarily Ela Wiatr was a victim of her own generation. She could be recognized as an angel thanks to her exceptional beauty. She resembled femme fatale because she couldn’t fall in love with anybody. She was made a victim because of her own upbringing. Any values that she was inculcated with, her sense of superiority and her contempt for people of lower social classes made from her a woman lost in surrounding reality.
