Abstract

This study is devoted to the search for literary connections in the works of L. Carroll and L. Andreyev. The principles of the satirical portrayal of the court on the material of the fairy tale “Alice in Wonderland” and the drama “Tsar Hunger”. Both authors express their critical attitude to the court and expose its shortcomings in a manner typical of each of them. At the same time, satire is not the final or only goal in either text. The analysis reveals similarities in the construction of the court scenes. Common features of the characters are revealed. Two pairs of correlating images are distinguished. The texts partially coincide with the artistic techniques used, including the grotesque and the deliberate violation of logical connections. The texts differ in the functions of the comic.
