Тема женской судьбы в творчестве Т.З. Табулова

Abstract

This article examines the semantic and linguistic features of T.Z. Tabulov’s works of the 1930s, united by the theme of the situation of the mountain woman in pre-revolutionary times. The story “Jalduz” traces the sad fate of the heroine, losing her husband, home, and forced to wander through the forest because of the capture of the village by the tsarist troops. This article thorough-ly analyzed the scene of the massacre of a baby, a blind old woman, and Jalduz herself. The author characterizes perpetrators of a brutal execution as soulless killing machines, confirmed by an ar-tistic detail: when describing them, the primary attention focuses on weapons. The story “Fatimat” points at the whole subsequent life of a free girl born is a chain of continuous restrictions, reduced to complete captivity after marriage. The widespread national speech formula “happiness has made its way”, related to the heroine, transformed into its semantic antipode when Musa-Big bought her for a thousand rubles. This notes that it is not the person, but wealth imperiously man-ages a person’s life, turning it into a continuous drama. The denouement is also eloquent, which not only reproaches, but denounces and rejects the system that destroys an innocent girl in favor of a rich sensualist. The song “Gulya and Fatimat” raises the same theme of disregard for the spir-itual needs of the individual, telling about the tragedy of a girl who was forcibly married off to an old and unloved rich man. And here the fate of the daughter is sacrificed to the greed of the par-ents. In parallel with interpreting texts, this work analyzes the language of the novels, as well as its functions in specific scenes and episodes. This article reveals the author’s skillful mastery of hyperbole, comparison, metaphor, personification, figurative parallel, antithesis. The considered material leads to the conclusion that such a wealth of expressive elements, such an organic fusion of vocabulary, stylistics and psychologism has not been found in any of the Abaza writers not only in the 1930s but also in later decades.
