POETICS OF THE V. BRYUSOV’S SHORT STORY "SISTERS. (FROM JUDICIAL RIDDLES)"
The article examines the poetics features of V. Bryusov’s short story «Sisters», which was part of his book «The Earth's axis». It is shown that in the short story basis composition is mounting domes, similar cinematic mise en scene, and «frames» within each of them. Multi-layer organization of the narrative is the reconstruction of the protagonist’s stream of consciousness, in a state of half-sleep, half delirious. Hero’s Surreal vision include images of the three sisters, conveying complicated love relationship between all of them. An important role is played by the intertext (Chekhov, Tyutchev, L. Tolstoy, Blok, Maeterlinck, Poe), the names and motifs symbolics, mythopoetics. All this allows us to consider «Sisters» not only in the symboliс stylizations (the Poe’s detective short story), but neomifology (the myth of the triple fate goddess).
