ART SPACE IN THE TALE «MOYDODYR»
Abstract
The article deals with spatio-temporal images which have unique «geographical» characteristics in the tale «Moidodyr» by K. Chukovsky. The author makes analysis of symbolics of the toponymic circle in which the protagonist moves on in the tale, in comparison with Raskolnikov's «route» in the novel «Crime and Punishment» by F. Dostoevsky. The recurrence of the characters through previously trailed path to a specific geographic location is the route of «transformation» from «gryaznulya (dirty boy) to chistyulya (neatnik)» in the poem by Chukovsky, and the path from sin to repentance in Dostoevsky's novel. On the other hand, the model of the «departure - escape - the recurrence» is associated with «rite of initiation» in the Russian folk tales described by V. Propp. From this perspective, the article also considers another character - Crocodile that in the world mythology, especially Egyptian, performs an important role in the rite of initiation.
Thus, in quasi-realistic space in the tale the main character goes along the way of transformation, according to the cannons of folk tales, described by V. Propp, on the one hand, and on the other - in accordance to the Egyptian mythology, in which one of the functions of the Crocodile is the function of the hero's regeneration.
