MOTIVE-FIGURATIVE STRUCTURE OF A. VAMPILOV’S DRAMA "LAST SUMMER IN CHULIMSK"
The article is devoted to studying the motive-figurative structure of A. Vampilov’s play “Last Summer in Chulimsk”. The study is focused not on V. Shamanov’s male image, which traditionally attracts researchers’ attention, but on the female image of young heroine Valentina. Special attention is paid to the images of secondary personages with their own background stories. It is shown that innovative techniques of compositional replication, variation, repetition and echoing allow the dramatist to overcome the routine of everyday life and reach the level of existential generalizations, artistic typification and universalization.
