Problem of gender edintification of male characters in V. Rasputin’s prose-dualism of psycho-intellectual dominants
The Article is devoted to analysis of men’s types in Rasputin’s prose. The following types have been revealed: hero-wanderer, fool in Christ, shapeshifter, arkharovets (reckless of danger), patriarchal type. Following evolution of these types we came to conclusion that in late works male characters are extremely dualistic, psycho-phisical characterestics of their activities are shifted, man’s attitude is appropriated by females while male characters are not able to behave actively. Psychophysical qualities are shifted under the situation of eschatology, loss of life orientation and function to realize worldbuilding.
