Significant brutalization of interpersonal relations (Compared to modern times) It is visible at first glance. Kitowicz is an enlightened man for his time and even prophetic to a change in society's approach to such things: "My reader will be amazed, How way did such a criminal excesses escape. I will free him immediately with a reminder of Polish law, which the assassins of the deliberate, nobleman, to attach the head of a killed nobleman. What is just about the murders in the drunkenness committed! What about harmful jokes on time, but not necessarily the death of the bringing!"
This situation proves a great difference between the value of human life at that time compared to the times. Also constructed by the letter of law. Death of the opponent (nobleman) it was necessary to pay with money, and it was enough for the legal consequences to be satisfied (I no longer mention the penalties for killing someone from a lower state, The penalties in this case were negligible - not higher than one hundred red zlotys, according to Kitowicz).

Still, if the argument had already resulted, However, some of the nobility grabbed all ways to avoid fighting: "Many cowards, Since the thing went to the sabers, He hid under the cornea and when the others were to kill their heads, nosy, cheeks, They cut their hands, He spent a turmoil in good health under the cornea ... "except for everything, The undeniable fact is it, that there was a fashion for a swaddle lifestyle, who took the risk of losing her life.
