- Abstract
The article presents the linguistic creation of God in the play Raj ("Paradise") written by Jacek Kaczmarski and is based on the method used in research into linguistic creation of worlds in literary texts. The analysis of the excerpted material was to show in which way Kaczmarski presented God and whether his creation was in accordance with the stereotypical concept of the Supreme Being. Stereotypical conceptualisations of God has been identified: King and Judge. The God created by Kaczmarski is perfect. However, he is deprived of other features that are stereo-typically attributed to him: goodness, love, essential identity and eternity. During the Final Judgement the heartless God deprived of any pity for people becomes an indicter of the human being. Consequently, he becomes a lonely God, condemned to perpetual solitude. Such an image of God created by Kaczmarski results from his concept of totalitarian power. In this context the image of a lonely God, aware of his failure, is supposed to give hope that better times will come.
