Abstract
The task of humanistics, including didactics of the Polish language, is a meeting with literary work. This is a difficult task, especially nowadays when electronic media has become the main carriers of values and pseudo-values. The author presents the results of the research based on the value of reading after the lessons about Sophocles' King Oedipus as part of the curriculum of multimedia thematic modules. Reading has turned out to be an irreplaceable benefit in the face of the growing reluctance of young people to discuss difficult and demanding reading material in Polish language lessons.
