THE FEATURES OF THE AUTHOR'S PRESENCE IN A PERSONAL NARRATION (BASED ON THE NOVEL BY ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN "IN THE FIRST CIRCLE")

Abstract

The article deals with the role of the author as a subject of omniscience in the personal narration of Solzhenitsyn's novel "In the First Circle". It is shown that this role is verbalized in the form of the author's inserts and aphoristic formulas, by which the author intervenes in the narrative of the characters. It is noted that the author's subjective view and the evaluative motive are present not only within the narrative of the narrator, but also in separate author's monologues-inserts, which differ at a different pace with in the general narrative, as well as in descriptions of the surrounding environment and psychological traits of the protagonists. It was determined that the author's presence in dialogues and polylogs is determined in remarks, which can be expanded to the extent of a message fragment, that in aphoristic formulas. Both the personal narrative and the internal monologue of the characters are under the general control of the author - the main narrator, and the external dialogue represents the actual speech of the characters with possible author's remarks or inserts. It is noted that the general polemical context (mostly in dialogical form) is supplemented and concretized by the author's journalistic inserts in the form of short monologues or aphoristic formulas, often ironically colored in the text of the novel. In conclusion, it is noted that the dialogues and monologues of the characters (formally expanded dialogic cues), as well as the author's inserts (cues, comments, remarks) in the novel are aimed directly at the reader, which not only helps to better understand the author's intentions, but also motivates.
