TOPOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CHRONOTOPE MODELS IN P. ZAGREBELNY’S НISTORICAL NOVEL «ROXOLANА»

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of determining the topological characteristics of models of the chronotope of a historical novel by P. Zagrebelny «Roxolanа». The purpose of the article is to highlight and characterize in the historical novel by P. Zagrebelny «Roxolanа» the key topos, which, through conceptualizing symbolic content, help to trace the relationship between the outer and inner spaces of the characters. One of the topical aspects of the study of the artist’s historical works was the study of their chronotope organization, which is explained by the true originality of many writer's works in terms of their spatial dimensions. The interpretation of chronotope through the category of event made it possible to introduce the concept of «chronotope model», which refers to a typical event, which is depicted in the plane of one work several times in relation to different heroes or the same hero or in the plane of different works. To represent this event, the author can choose different topographic and chronic parameters, while maintaining the invariant nature of the event. The conceptualisation of the symbolic content of key novel topos is deepened by the generalized, fundamental artistic realization of the author’s concept of «time as eternity». Models of chronotopes of the main characters: fights, atonement, victories, defeats, escapes, insights are realized by P. Zagrebelny in the novel «Roksolana» in the following topos: seas, rivers, rivers, mirrors, wells; pillar, columns, ladders, gates; islands, harem, hamam, palace Topkapі, ruin; stone, circle. The water topos in P. Zagrebelny’s historical novel «Roxolanа» has a double meaning: 1) the water element acts as a symbol of spiritual death and rebirth; 2) the water element acts as a power that can punish for sins. Topos of pillars, columns, ladders, gates in P. Zagrebelny’s historical novel, «Roxolanа», are associated with the symbol of the World Tree, which is characteristic of many peoples’ worldview, and correlates with the world axis, acting as one of the variants of division into Heaven and Earth. Topos of harem, hanum, palace Topkapі are connected with the organization of the personal space of Roksolana, which is marked by a closed structure.
