There is a mistake- Wernyhora doesn't struck anybody dead at the end of the drama. That's a lie. They are hypnotised by a revived straw-cover (which brought ghosts to a wedding), and they dance to its music. Besides- death on an ending would be nonsense, because of different symbolism. People on wedding symbolise nation, which is asleep and unconscious under foreign rulers and they "dance as they play for them" (polish folcloristic proverb). They are not dead, they are "just" hypnotised, because they wasted their chance for freedom (uprisings)

No worries. This kind of mistake is easily fixed. I think it is but a mistake, not a lie, and you meant to say scarecrows, or is it the rosebush canes straw-wraps? --Poeticbent talk 00:33, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I meant to say about a thing, which people used to cover rosebushes. And I am not an author of whole text, I've just noticed a mistake. (An ending is still not quite good, ecause there is a proverb "dance to a music, that they play you" not "foreign music", it means that someone behaves as a puppet. I think can fix that thing.) Thank you.
