THE UNEASE OF THE INSCRIPTIONS OF VIOLENCE – THE MESSAGE OF MUSIL’S MORALITY PLAY. SOME REMARKS ON THE UNEASE OF TÖRLESS’ DISCIPLE

The article reflects on the status of literary work which, by its very nature, seems to escape all essentialism, universalism or arbitrary attempts at interpretation. Therefore it seems necessary to refer to non-totalitarian structures that can bring us closer to the phenomenon of human existence – which leave room for its specific mystery. This rapprochement is realized through proper literary techniques, conducive to the weakening of all forms of generality, thanks to which it becomes possible to devaluate and capture the condition of the human being in its individuality. In this sense, The Confusions… constitute the new understanding of it, characterized by unpredictability and instability – the effect of the destruction of the ancien regim. Decomposition, transformation or shaking of previous norms is reflected in the moral dilemmas and anxieties of the characters in the book. In this context and against the backdrop of the upcoming tragic events in European history, the attitude of non-commitment is reduced to complicity.
