Abstract

In the article the author observes the question
of correlation between portrait characteristics and
personality structures of the main characters. This is
an attempt to integrate the study of literature with the
contemporary analytical psychology. Consistent correspondence
between the portrait characteristics and
clearly indicated characters of the main heroes reveals
the depth of Tolstoys psychological insight and explains
the lifelikeness of his characters. The author emphasizes
that the portraits of the novels characters helped
Tolstoy to fully expose their inner world.
