Abstract
The article is devoted to the comprehension of one plot-fabula lacuna in early neo- romantic poem “The Tale of Kings” (1905) by N.S. Gumilev, which is one of the first experiments in constructing Gumilev’s mythopoetics. The analysis of this work reveals the presence of A.S. Pushkin’s reminiscence, referring to the poetics of “The Tale of the Golden Cockerel” in its structural and semantic organization. The plot death of the heroes of Gumilev’s poem, explained by means of Pushkin’s pretext, contributes to the mythologization of “eternal femininity” as a sacred and fatal principle in the structure of the world order. It is concluded that the reminiscence, referring to Pushkin’s fairy tale, in Gumilev’s poem becomes a marker of the universality of the manifestation of passion and the absolutization of the fatal “femininity”.
