Machiavelli «Cletia» (1525), the story by I.S. Turgenev’s «First Love» (1860), the novel by F.M. Dostoevsky’s «The Brothers Karamazov» (1879-1880) reveals related plot situations and motives. All three texts depict the situations of love rivalry for one woman between two applicants - a father and a son. These situations, having the pathos of a tragicomic paradox, are resolved, however, in several different semantic registers and in several different pretentious fillings. Machiavelli is edifying. Turgenev remains closed in the chamber, private sphere of the personality (and touches little on the general social). In «The Brothers Karamazov», within the framework of Dostoevsky’s analysis of the general contemporary crisis, the author’s skepticism does not find a way to self-overcoming.","PeriodicalId":246030,"journal":{"name":"Literaturovedcheskii Zhurnal","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115360460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hawthorne, A.N. Ostrovsky, as well as the transformation of the image in Chekhov’s drama “Three Sisters”, lyric cycle by A.A. Block “Carmen”. For the mythopoetic level, it is significant that there is a belief about the transformation of water into wine, into the blood of Christ. From here, you can see the proximity of the Snow Maiden’s melting, her transformation into water - the rite of the Eucharist, the communion of the blood and flesh of Christ. Correlation with the motive of the blood of Christ also makes the myth of the Snow Maiden closer to the Western European story of the Grail. Therefore, in the allegorical (conditional) aspect of the plot, the ending of Ostrovsky’s fairy tale play is read not only as Yarila’s victory, but also as the decline of paganism, a departure from primitiveness to Christianity. The evolution of the Snow Maiden’s image from Hawthorne and Ostrovsky through Chekhov to Blok demonstrates the literalization of the image, its complete translation into a mythopoetic plan, devoid of any allegorization or convention.","PeriodicalId":246030,"journal":{"name":"Literaturovedcheskii Zhurnal","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125592754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transformation of the poet-prophet noted by researchers, which occurs in the lyrics of the Silver Age, is clarified in our article by considering the change of functions of the prophetic word. In conclusion, it is found out that with numerous motivational and semantic calls, the prophetic word in the lyrics of K. Bal’mont and V. Bryusov indicates a different direction. In the “Prophet” M. Lermontov’s dramatic conflict between the world and the truth is fundamentally insoluble, the prophet Moses in the work of V. Bryusov formally realizes his purpose, but loses the meaning of life, in the works of K. Bal’mont, the prophet denounces the gray and boring life of people, putting forward the ideals of play, creativity in contrast to it, opposes the rational and ecstatic.","PeriodicalId":246030,"journal":{"name":"Literaturovedcheskii Zhurnal","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121875569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author of The History of One City , using the model of assimilating a morally flawed domestic historical personality to foreign criminals, replaces the ingenuous admiration characteristic of the pretext with an ironic one. The parallel with the book about Van’ka Kain is not the only echo with the works of Russian literature of the 18th century in the introduction to the chronicle of Saltykov-Shchedrin.

In this book the notion of laughter comes through as one of the permanent features of Old Russian and modern Russian literature. Shevyrev calls Daniil Zatochnik (12th century), the master of “weeping laughter and smiling sadness”, the first Russian humorist and compares the lucid laughter of Gogol with Daniil’s humor and laughter. All Russian comedies (by Fonvizin, Griboedov, Gogol) Shevyrev considers as phenomena of funny, bright laughter. This is directed against the old tendency in literary studies to see in every great comedy first of all a satire, a denunciation. In the works of Shevyrev the concept of laughter was expressed by the word “funny”.","PeriodicalId":246030,"journal":{"name":"Literaturovedcheskii Zhurnal","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124336072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
