NATIONAL VERSION OF OLEKSANDR OLES’ SYMBOLISM

Abstract

The radical change in the formation of European thinking, that determined the representation of the image of the world as a vivid and dynamic organism, that can be known only by intuition and fancy, was still in Romanticism in con-trast to versus rationalistic and empirical philosophy of Enlightenment. Based on the new concept of the world and of human being, the transition from Enlightenment to Romanticism led to the revaluation of the ideological and aesthetic principles. The creativity of Oleksandr Oles is marked by the influence of the romantic poetics, the most important component of which was the lyrical mood and the melodiousness of the phrases, that created the individual image of the spiritual being on the way to the beauty and dream. Symbolists considered the art to be the most consummate variety of the perception and drew the truth of life from the book of nature, placing the poetry as a form of self-expression, that shouldn’t take into consideration the traditional models and is programmed to open the human soul, the mysteries of the space and the contradictions in the society. Oleksandr Oles brought the idea of the «inner individual», who revolted against the world and the public and gov-ernment norms. The originality of the system of the artistic images, motives, spirits, rhythm and melodic absorbed the powerful lyricism of the poets’ sensitive soul. That’s why the purpose of this article is the revelation the images, which creates the metaphorical universe, filled with symbols of the human existence. Obtaining the purpose envisages to investigate the national version of Oleksandr Oles’ symbolism and to reveal its realization in the authors’ interpretations. The methods of the research are based on the main principles of the philological analysis of the text. The determined tasks foresee the use of elements of compara-tive and hermeneutic analysis as a general interpretation of literary texts.
