Abstract
The study proposes to analyze the image of the goddess Ishtar in selected works of the Ukrainian writer in Rio de Janeiro Vira Vovk (Wira Wowk, autonym Vira-Lydia-Kateryna Selyanska, Wira Selanski). The main feminine characters for comparative analysis are: Inanna-Ishtar, Esther (biblical character and title image of the novel), fictional heroine Aylya. Masculine and feminine characters are taken into account. The archetypal substratum is analyzed as exemplified by mythologems. The polylogue of Vira Vovk’s texts is offered. The material of the analysis encomasses the works by Vira Vovk, the Bible, myths of different nations. The image of Aylya is compared with eternal images, as well as figures of the Ukrainian intellectual women, including allegorically depicted ones in the literature of the 20th century. Comparative, archetypal, textual and other methods are used.
