Abstract

The paper is devoted to the female archetypes that are immediately connected with the basic concepts of the Silver Age. The semantics of turning, which was historically significant for a boundary of the XIX-XX-th centuries and played a key role in the hero’s destiny, in Pasternak’s novel «Doctor Zhivago» reveals through a chain of various events and the system of images.
