Personal and situational origins in M.A. Sholokhov’s short story "The Fate of a Man"
The article raises the question about how writer-realist can understand reasons and features of communicative behavior of the character. The thesis about different opinions of different authors about the origins of communicative behavior and the possibilities of comparison of rational and emotional behavior of the characters in the features of their communication is raised. For the first experience the short story «The Fate of a Man» was chosen. The analysis of the stated problem comes to the conclusion that the Sholokhov shows the features of behavior as a reflection of traits and moral beliefs of the character. Also it shows that critical situations force a man of spirit to concentrate, detach from emotions and choose only rational way to communicate considering who is his interlocutor and which actions he sees the most effective to prevent bad consequences from happening. With that in mind, always reflective character in the hardest moments takes the communicative initiative, controls his speech and non-verbal behavior, which also depicts his personality.
