The author of the text presents the overview of religious attitudes in Mickiewicz’s Dziady part III and compares them with the mystical epigrams of Johannes Scheffler, which were of interest to Mickiewicz during the concept creation of Dziady. Based on the principle of vision (Priest Peter and Eve) or improvisation (Konrad), three characters experiencing religious ecstasies are assigned to separate religious attitudes, successively gnostic, mystical and magical. The author identifies similarities and differences in the states and aspirations of the various characters, and also demonstrates the influence of Silesius’ epigrams and theosophical thought on the religious-philosophical structure of the drama.
