"HAMLET" BY SHAKESPEARE AS THE ARCHETYPE, OR LITERARY INTERPRETATIONS OF READY PLOTS
The article is devoted to several most significant Russian and English literary interpretations of the tragedy «Hamlet» by Shakespeare (interpretations by Ch. Dickens, A. Sumarokov, I. Turgenev, A. Chekhov, B. Pasternak and B. Akunin). Having presented in brief the transformation of mastering of Shakespearean tragedy from the XVIII-th century to the present, the author, firstly, has come to a conclusion that writers not so much recreate the original, but use it as an original intertext, hidden and clearly connecting and reconstructing its subject, figurative and conceptual components. Secondly, the author is convinced that the reason of literary interpretations of ready plots is based not on their ideological position or aesthetic purposes, but on archetypicvalidity of the original.
