Today it's part of cracow. there  was residence some  noble nation. Lately there is conversation between a boy and servvant . Servant had fighted earlier in january insurrection, so he was axpierenced at fighting. unfortunately they lost. he was grave. he couldn't survive  losing.  nobleman was intrested in his   historians about fighting and pattriotism.  he wonderded to be similar.  oen day to residence came  his cousine. he fell in love with here. she thought,it wasn't serious. but ii was big mistake. so he tried to do  a suicide.  but fortunately he outlived. he thought  that was the worst time in his life, thereforehe wondered to devote  for nation. so he came   to england.,he couldn't to find  compan.  later he went to the vatican. he visited the pope. specially he took  a bit  ground from poland. he tried to persuagd him to changing an opinion about poland. unfortunately that meeting didin't end  positively. then je was depressed. he thought, that at least pope could him support. do he hiked for Mont Blanc in frence. then he felt like veritcal romanticist. he knew he was alone at suffers. he thought that anybody coudn't him understand. he felt like a bird. later he wondered to arrive to motherland.he was conspirated. so he  wanted to defence poland. the were divided into 2 gropus. generally  all wanted to   obtain freedom and satisfaction but it was impossible. among conspirators we could use 2 currents: enlightenment and romanticism. Kordian represented romanticism . generally author showed  2 kinds of support country. romanticists  wanted to fight but they didin't have enough army, weapon. but  a lot of people didin't want to fight too. they were conscious, they couldn't win this   fight. they knew, they weren't enough prepared to do this, but romanticists  thought, their hope was all.author showed  own thought. he supported romanticists deeply.kordian in spite of lack of majority supportance, he wondered to kill tsar.so next day he was to protect  tsar. he prepaed to killing . but suddenly he was obsesed by spirits. so tsar woke up and he knew what could happen. so he ordered to kill kordian,. next day came his brother.he asked for him about  relievieng .he didin't want to agree but brother begun to remember about diffrents his criminels. then he changed  judgement. but final part this book is typical for romanticism,generally we can't be sure if kordian was relieved or not. author wanted let us interprate indyvidually that  posture.
