Bryll’s text
deals with the theme of Janosik in an original and courageous way. He uses
humour, dances and folk stories and songs. The image of Janosik and his
group is, of course, diametrically opposite from the image of the folk
hero from the stories.
The legendary character of Janosik in Bryll’s
text is, at certain points, presented from the comic side. Here Janisik
is neither a bandit captain-legend, neither a positive hero.
Bryll offers a new solution: he is an ordinary
man and the same things happen to him as to all of us. His adventures and
his story are the story of ordinary men and women. It is told satirically
which deprives Janosik of his monumentality.
That is the poetical and the polemic side of the
bandit theme. And because of this, this poetical side of this theme could
be a good reason for the ideological and artistic confrontation.
