REPRESENTATION OF IMAGE "I" IN THE ART AUTOBIOGRAPHY ABOUT THE CHILDHOOD (BASED ON "BURY ME BEHIND A PLINTH" BY P. SANAEV AND "THE ADVENTURE OF JERIK" BY N.NUSINOVA)

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the image of the
main character of the autobiographical stories about a
childhood. The choice of research objects is based on
the fact that the authors belong to a single culture. The
comparison of the works revealed a general features in
representation of I. The narrative goes from the fi rst
person, and the image of the narrator is implicit. The
narrators point of view is manifested mainly in the use
comic devices as a universal means of self-interpretation
and re-evaluation of the past. The components of
the image of the child are the characteristic features of
childrens perception of the world, while the representation
of socially signifi cant identity is markedly reduced.
Images of fantasy, meditation or dreams emphasize the
uniqueness of the inner world of the little character.
