Journal Title: Записки з романо-германської філології - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue
Abstract
The object of our study is Lesia Ukrainka’s drama “Blue Rose”, which belongs to a range of works that convincingly testified that the development of Ukrainian literature of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was in line with the development of the European literary space. The intertextual associations and manifestations investigated by us in the analyzed drama serve as the basis for the conclusion that this work is a milestone not only in the works by Lesia Ukrainka, but also throughout the contemporary national drama. The author associated it with hopes for the modernization of the Ukrainian theater, which she offered a drama of “a new direction”. Significant signs of such drama, which testify its intertextuality, are, in particular, “ literarization”, citations, literary analogies – features that were not characteristic of the works by not only Lesia Ukrainka’s predecessors, but also her contemporaries. The article clarifies the functions of intertextual associations and manifestations in the poetics of the drama “Blue Rose”, in expressing the symbols of the work, in revealing the problems, in the representation of the characters. In particular, the image-symbol of the blue rose is the key one in the drama, its polyfunctionality, which manifests itself at different levels of the structure of the text. The role of intertextuality as a factor of interaction of the drama “Blue Rose” with the strata of cultures of the previous centuries has also been found out. The article emphasizes that the intertextuality of Lesia Ukrainka’s drama manifests itself at the level of both scientific and artistic discourse, which results in the creation of an associative series in the context of the epochs. The main functions of intertextual inclusions in the analyzed work by Lesia Ukrainka and their role in the process of creation of characters are investigated.
