Abstract
Mythological thinking as the basis of literary works of any artist synthesizes an ancient pagan worldview constants, plots, motifs and images of world mythology, folk-song elements and the actual author’s creation of myth. Myth poetic analysis of literary text makes it possible to better understand and interpret the author’s world view, plunge into the dimension of poetic allusions, decode implicit code of poet’s derivational actions. Accentuation on the mythological aspects of the poetry of studied authors and comparative analysis of the art world of their myth poetics is absent in the contemporary literary criticism, and therefore requires detailed study and it’s a topicality of our article. The aim of our study is to explore the special features of interpretation of the symbol of the moon in the lyrics by famous Ukrainian poets Chrystia Alchevska and Hrytsko Chuprynka and to draw a parallel between their worldview concepts. The article deals with the interpretation of the symbol of the moon in the lyrics by Ukrainian symbolist poets Chrystia Alchevska and Hrytsko Chuprynka, explores individual author’s interpretation of night luminary, analyzes and compares myth thinking and artistic worldview of both writers. The connection between the special features of interpretation of lunar image and worldview positions of ancient Slavs, the impact of world mythology on the works of famous Ukrainian poets is established. The mythologeme of the moon in the studied poetry appears as a part of micro and macro world, showing existential sensation of the world of lyrical characters. Symbolic meanings of the lunar image show the semantics of patronage for people in love, loneliness, protection of sleep and destiny. The use of folk-song elements and pastiche of poetry in folklore, which affects the nature of percep-tion of the author’s identity, is important in reflection of the astral symbol in the lyrics by Chrystia Alchevska and Hrytsko Chupryn-ka. Mystical phenomena and creatures associated with the image of the moon represent archaic worldview positions of our people.
