Neretina, S. S. Lermontov and Littell:
Repetition Semantics
Abstract:
When analyzing Lermontov’s creative work, the author of the article focuses on repetitions
often used by Lermontov. Such repetitions allowed Lermontov to discover the opportunities of conceptual
changes, to change his story lines and demonstrate the life of things and heroes. The results of the analysis
of the three poems written by Lermontov (Confession, Boyarin Orsha and the Novice) prove that these
poems constitute a single chain of Lermontov’s thoughts on uttermost possibilities of not only human soul
but also the thinking ability in general, the topic that was so popular in the European philosophy of those
times. Confession and judgment were the main concepts discussed by Lermontov in those three poems.
The author of the present article also examines the ‘repetition’ of Lermontov’s topics in Jonathan Littell’s
‘The Kindly Ones’. The article was written based on the methods of the comparative and situation analysis.
In addition, the author has performed the problematization of repetition and equation. The topics
discussed by Lermontov grow especially important today as a result of social automization and absolute,
i.e. metaphysical but not romantic or sentimental, loneliness that allows to look at the world from the
outside but at the same time makes it inaccessible despite its visual accessibility. According to the author,
it is useless to analyze the form of verses and the number of syllables in iambs and etc.
Keywords:
Repeat, repetition, confession, silence, contemplation, freedom, prison, Nazism, meaning, equivocality, hermeneutics.
