PARODOXALITY OF SITUATION OF INITIATION IN «APPRENTICE OF MAGICIAN» BY ALEKSANDR GRIN AND «WONDERS OF MAGIC» BY AKUTAGAWA RYUNOSKE

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the research of the reception specificity of initiation as archetype situation in A. Grin’s and Akutagawa’s artistic works. So the luminal plot scheme is the main in both stories. The comparative analysis allowed to set similarity of methods and general principles of poetics of the Russian and Japanese writers of the beginning of the XX century the modernist epoch. The development of plot acquires paradoxical character because the result of the initiation is zeroes. As a result the beginning of both stories and theirs finals coincide. There is the impression, that nothing have happened. A situation, in which heroes appeared when events of the plot started, did not change. Main reason of such composition of the plot – in inability of heroes to moral motion. It helps to understand author’s conception of person. Grin and Akutagawa expressed the disturbance with the modern state of person in which mercantileness represses humaneness.
