The evolution of female images of modern Caucasian women's prose ( based on the material of the novel by M. Akhmedova "Stone Girl. Water")

Abstract

The article is devoted to female images of modern Caucasian women's prose. The author examines in detail the images presented in the novel by the writer and journalist Marina Akhmedova "The Stone. Girl. Water", analyzing a wide range of themes and motifs presented in the novel. The author examines in detail such aspects of the topic as the motive of turning to religion, the confrontation of the city and the village, the motive of love, motherhood, etc. Special attention is paid to the female image – the image of a mother, daughter, teacher. Marina Akhmedova immerses the reader in the atmosphere of everyday life, which allows us to talk about the traditional theme and plot characteristic of Caucasian prose. The novelty of the research lies, first of all, in the choice of the author and the novel for analysis – modern Caucasian women's prose is represented by a rather narrow list of writers. As the main conclusions of the study, the author identifies the following: the heroes of modern Caucasian women's prose are acutely aware of the scrapping of the national matrix. They are disappointed in modern reality and deliberately strive for the international. Despite the traditional nature of the theme and plot, Akhmedova manages to combine the classical literary form with topical journalism, showing the difficult fate of her people through the prism of female characters, showing their evolution according to their social status.
