ІДЕЙНО-ЕСТЕТИЧНА СУГОЛОСНІСТЬ ПОЕЗІЇ ТАРАСА ШЕВЧЕНКА І ПАВЛА ГРАБОВСЬКОГО

Abstract

The fates of the two artists T. Shevchenko and P. Grabovsky have much in common both in biographical data and in their creativity. That is why we can speak about a certain congruence of the poems of P. Grabovsky and T. Shevchenko. Researchers of P. Grabovsky's creativity have repeatedly emphasized this (M. Sirotyuk, M. Sivachenko, O. Kiselev, I. Franko, etc.). It is interesting to trace the commonality of themes, problems and images in P. Grabowski's early poems. In his time, OsipMacovey, analyzing the poet's first collection, The Snowdrop, wrote: “These poetry… A whole school of feelings from the highest animation to extreme pessimism. These psychic motives are composed in different ways in the song and once they hum like funeral bells, and once lively marches to the march” [Makovej O., P. 230]. Significant place in the mentioned collection, as well as in all the creative works of P. Grabowski, as already mentioned, is given to the depiction of the difficult slave life of the worker. The reader is most impressed by the works in which the poet depicts concrete, as if drawn from life images and paintings. These are the poetry «Worker», «Seamstress», «Worker», «From Life», «To Mother». In T. Shevchenko’s poems, the same motives of pain and sympathy for the underprivileged and oppressed sound. Particularly, the fate of the woman has always worried P. Grabovsky and T. Shevchenko, and therefore the image of a female worker holds a significant place in their work. Why? Here it is necessary to emphasize the position of man in society in those days. These were the years of cruel and ruthless oppression of the people, and a woman like no one was humiliated and humiliated.
