Aspekty intymnej biografii Tarasa Szewczenki w zwierciadle jungowskiej psychologii analitycznej

: The article attempts to analyze the causes of Taras Szevchenko’s loneliness in his personal life through the scientific apparatus of Carl Gustav Jung’s analytical psychology. The dynamics of the processes that took place in the inner spheres of the poet’s soul, struggling throughout his life with the trauma of orphanhood, shows that it was the mother complex that largely conditioned his complicated relations with women. Exploring various aspects of the poet’s intimate biography, including content from the areas of the individual unconscious, allows researchers to overcome the one-side perception of his character and creative legacy, which, until recently, was limited to mostly historical-literary and social-political interpreta - tions. The study of Shevchenko’s phenomenon provides for a comprehensive approach, taking into account, among other things, suppressed (unconscious) motives for his actions, creative impulses and unrealized plans.
