Image:Wroclaw Fredro 2005 2.jpg Aleksander Fredro (June 20, 1793–July 15, 1876) was a Polish poet and writer, author of social comedies about Polish nobility lifestyle. He made his debut in 1817, but he wasn't interested in the problems of Romanticism.
In his comedies, Fredro has shown mastership in character's profile, in action forming, and flexibility of the language. He has introduced to his pieces some humoristic elements, a typical parts of folk theatre humor, in that time characteristic only of farce.
Fredro's tales, for example Małpa w kąpieli (Monkey in bath) or Paweł i Gaweł (Paweł and Gaweł) are children's reading books. The most known Fredro's comedy is Zemsta (Vengeance).
