POETIC SINGULARITY OF H. C. ANDERSEN’S NOVEL “ONLY A FIDDLER”

Abstract

The article analyzes the features of the poetics of the novel, taking into account the permanent problems in the writer's work, namely the struggle between good and evil. In particular, attention is focused on the skill of creating characters. The author explores the features of plot construction, the role of epigraphs in the functionality of imagoes. The idea of the inseparability of the author's world outlook and the contextual image in the novel is postulated. As a result, coherences of poetics are attested on the basis of philosophical existential problems.In addition to thatthe author goes on with the opinion that the genre of the novel is characterized by its complexity. It combines the features of the adventure and autobiographical novel, which are closely interwoven with fairytale elements and philosophical reflections. More over the reader is informed that this is a novel about unshared love, imbued with lyricism and symbolism. In the final analysis it is worth saying that H. C Andersen includes the real names of the people in the novel, further there are different real episodes inserted in the third part of the novel as the ballet, the author examines kinds of episodes and in the end concludes that this embedded micrograph in the structure of the novel is not accidental. It allows better understanding of the character.The author also discusses the protagonist’s decisive character which is based on the writer’s description as beautiful, intelligent, but the one who does not imagine her life without wealth, so she marries a Marquis, whom she does not love. She does not worry about virtues; life is a game for her. The reader is informed about the values implicitly with the help of an image of Naomi who is described as a beautiful lady but she does not have a heart. To cap at all the author admits that each chapter of the novel has well-chosen epigraphs from the works of Voltaire, Schiller, Goethe, Eichendorff, Heine and other authors. All the pictures described in the novel relate to the philosophical problems of the work, in particular, with the eternal problem of struggle between good and evil, between angelic and demonic.
