Journal Title: Мова - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 29
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to establish the history of the appearance of the name «Vronsky» in the text of Leo Tolstoy’s novel «Anna Karenina.» The object is to study the influence of the literary tradition of naming characters in an artistic text. The subject is the work of Leo Tolstoy over the nomination of main characters of the novel «Anna Karenina». The material was naming in drafts and the final version of L. N. Tolstoy’s novel «Anna Karenina», nominations in A. S. Pushkin’s «Eugene Onegin», Leo Tolstoy’s diaries and memoirs of contemporaries. As a result of the research, it was revealed that in the drafts of Leo Tolstoy, initially the main character had three different surnames. Drawing on these texts and diary entries by Leo Tolstoy, the author comes to the following conclusions. In the process of work, Tolstoy changed the nomination under the influence, according to the author’s hypothesis, of the naming of the character from «Eugene O-negin». The surname Vronsky is built on the model of Russian princely surnames with the suffix sk- and corresponds to the tradition of naming literary characters in the 19th century. In Leo Tolstoy this name, like that of Pushkin, is personified by the cold St. Petersburg Higher Light. The author notes the influence of naming the characters of the works of Alexander Pushkin and the whole Pushkin tradition on the appearance of the name Vronsky in the text of the novel.
