Abstract
It is shown that the same scene or situation passes through Pushkin’s works in which an observer watching for two or more objects is present. If an object of dangerous observation is a woman, the scene, as a rule, ends up with her faint or death. The presence of such an observer can be considered as uncontrolled intrusion of fate into human’s life. Uncovering the scheme under consideration is especially important since poetics of Pushkin is extremely laconic, so even in a finished text one is led to reconstruct some implicit details. Then, a given invariant (related just to the property of reticence) can serve as a tool for independent check. In particular, its application agrees with interpretation of the final scene in “The Stone Guest” that was suggested by us earlier from completely different rationale.
