Особенности сюжета и повествования в рассказе Виктории Токаревой Пять фигур на постаменте

Abstrakt

The article analyses the principles of internal plot organization in Victoria Tokareva’s short story Five Figures on the Pedestal. Those narrative features related with the interference of the narrator’s viewpoint, the heroine’s free indirect speech and the dialogic situations enable us to note the principle of analogy and the combination of cyclical and linear perceptions of time. The metaphor of the wheel, shared by the narrator and the heroine, organizes the general perspective of the short story’s worldview. The reader is given an opportunity to present existential characteristics of the relativity of time plans (the time when similar events occurred in the heroine’s life and the time when they are presented by the narrator in the narrative as a combination and intersection of atemporal reflections, reminiscences and comments).
