Abstract

In “The Tales of Belkin”, “Little Tragedies” and some other works of Pushkin (including those of the sculptural myth) there is a common scene associated with direct clash between a character and uncontrollable forces (in particular, of superhuman nature). Such a force impends over a character during a long time and, suddenly, actualizes physically. As a result, a character fights against the fatal forces or loses his/her will - falls without unconscious (the most frequent reaction), begs for mercy or runs away. Insistent repeatability of the situation revels here a structural invariant. It can be combined with the presence of a hidden powerful observer as well as with a plot complex based on a treaty concluded in the past.
