| Pan Tadeusz | comment |
In 1811, young Tadeusz Soplica comes back home just in time to witness the resolution of the quarrel his paternal uncle and the count Horeszko have about a (not so ancient) castle. He then catches a glimpse of a very pretty girl...The national epic poem of both Poland and Lithuania, written by Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855), Pan Tadeusz, or Pan Tadeusz, czyli Ostatni zajazd na Litwie: historia szlachecka z roku 1811 i 1812 we dwunastu ksiegach wierszem ("Mr. Tadeusz, or The Last Foray in Lithuania: the story of nobles from year 1811 and 1812 in twelve rhymed books"), tells us of the struggle between the noble families of Soplica and Horeszko and its dissolution, or the titular "zajazd" (which meant one nobleman raiding another's lands, a 16th-17th century custom, not really practiced anymore in the 19th).Written in 1832 and published in 1834, the poem was meant to comfort the members of the Polish emigration in France after the trauma of the lost November Uprising. It is set, though, before Napoleon's Russian campaign (and at its beginning, a little), which was a huge surge of hope for Poland's restoration (see the Other Wiki for more information on how that turned out for Poland), much like the Uprising was.Gained a cult following among the Polish intellectual class ("inteligencja"readintelligentsia), eventually becoming the Cult Classic of Polish literature.Adapted into feature films.Fun fact - the metre of Pan Tadeusz is 13-syllable alexandrine, a rather uncommon one in English (compare The Faerie Queene). The 1999 adaptation retains the rhymed dialogues, which doesn't make it any less realistic.An English translation (in prose) can be read here. | |

Cool Old Guy: Wojski - he's proficient at hunting, playing instruments, throwing knives, storytelling, settling quarrels, and he's the master of ceremony at the feasts organised by the Judge. Also Jankiel, being a popular innkeeper, successful trader, sincere patriot and matchless musician. He basically serves as a grandfather figure to Zosia. | |

Good-Guy Bar: Jankiel's inn. He sells good drinks at reasonable prices and plays cimbalom better than anyone (supposedly he brought Mazurek DÄ…browskiego from his travels). There is a whole literary theory that his innkeeping business is actually a cover-up for underground patriotic conspiracy and he is in fact Father Robak's second-in-command. | |

Jews Love to Argue | |
| Pan Tadeusz / int_38e5177d | comment |
Jews Love to Argue: This trope could be called "Poles Love To Argue". Almost all of main and secondary plots revolve around people arguing. Truth in Television as one of goals Mickiewicz tried to achieve was to soothe bitter squabbles among Polish community in France. Technically averted. Jankiel, the only Jew in the story, tries to take the Count's followers' minds off the raid on the Soplica family's manor. | |

Romanticism: Gently poked fun at (bear in mind Mickiewicz had written some very lofty Romantic poems) - the Count and Telimena are Idle Rich Romanticists who keep clashing with the prose of life. Still, Tadeusz expresses a very Romantic view on esthetics (Polish cloudy skies are more beautiful than the Italian vast plain blue) which is laughed at by the Count and Telimena. | |

Foreign Culture Fetish: The Count, to Italy. He also seems to pose as a Dashing Hispanic. Telimena, to Russia. Of course, cosmopolitan Russian upper-class, not Russian folk culture. Averted in case of Tadeusz, the Judge and the whole Soplica family. Telimena ironically lampshades that. According to Podkomorzy, the unconditional admiration for French culture and politics is what led to moral decay and the eventual downfall of Poland. | |

But keep in mind all the aristocratic titles were given by the foreign monarchs (except Lithuania due to Grandfather Clause).

Pilfering Proprietor: Subverted; the Jewish innkeeper Jankiel is rather emphatically characterized as honest and generous. He's most directly a Stereotype Flip of the Greedy Jew trope, but it's also apparent that he's specifically meant to subvert the expectation that an innkeeper would be a greedy cheat, especially if they were Jewish. | |

Occupiers Out of Our Country: Poland under Russian rule, so of course it's constantly lurking in the background. And sometimes getting out - father Robak's working on it all the time. | |

| Pan Tadeusz / int_9e943076 | comment |
Although they do manage to kill some Poles in the battle, the most notable being father Robak, they are easily shot one by one by Tadeusz. He demands a duel lest he kill all of them "like wolves in a den". Upon seeing this captain Rykov fearfully tells major PÅ‚ut to do something or there will be no one left alive. Even more ironic when we realise that we have trained soldiers against a 21-year-old boy who overslept a hunt a day before (Irony taken up to eleven: the name of their formation, the jegers, comes from a German word "Jaeger" meaning "huntsman"). | |

NiceToTheWaiter | |
| Pan Tadeusz / int_a39d6056 | comment |
Nice to the Waiter: Tadeusz, upon inheriting Soplicowo, sets the peasants free. The Count is generally liked and respected because he's this, despite his artistic temperament. Because newly-freed peasants were subject to heavy taxation, Tadeusz circumvents this by officially adopting all of them (i.e. admitting them into his own coat of arms). | |

Blue Blood | |
| Pan Tadeusz / int_abe4d7b | comment |
Blue Blood: Set among country gentry. Though only the Count, a regular aristocrat, could be seen as this. The other characters are either middle-class landed gentry like the Judge and Podkomorzy, impoverished gentlemen like Rejent and Asesor, "grey" gentry (gentry so poor that they lived off farming, the only difference from peasants being their title, coat of arms and the way of clothing) like the Dobrzyńskis, and finally, "naked", that is landless gentry, whose only source of income was serving wealthier lords (Gerwazy to the Horeszkos, Wojski to the Soplicas). But keep in mind all the aristocratic titles were given by the foreign monarchs (except Lithuania due to Grandfather Clause). Actual Polish gentry valued its equality very highly (i.e. you could have been a "naked" with naught but your sabre to your name, but still take no orders from any "prince"). | |
