| Description | This paper analyzes the narrator’s specifics in the prose of the Russian writer L. N. Andreyev, as it seems to be necessary for understanding the peculiarities of his creative method. Andreyev reveals the psychology of his characters through their reactions to a concrete life situation. It is often the common, ordinary case, because the author is not interested in the situation as such, but precisely in the hero’s behavior in it. In this connection we can identify a distinctive feature of Andreyev’s depiction of an external event through the prism of the individual, subjective perception of this phenomenon by character. Based on the analysis of the author's key stories, this study determines that the Andreyev's narrator does not take part in the action. He preserves "objectivity" by means of seeming disinterest; does not express his point of view regarding the events which he conveys, and merely limits himself to describing the external facts related to the characters. This narrator’s position enables the writer to model both the characters and their inner world, the events and the modus of narration allowing to show several perspectives of the events. Besides, none of them announced as “correct” or “preferred”, hence a reader can form his own opinion both on the situation and on the behavior of the characters. |
