Abstract

The article reveals the influence of V.A. Zhukovsky’s works on the concept of N.V. Gogol’s novella “Taras Bulba”, which could have arisen as a result of the writer’s reception of the poet’s work. The analysis made it possible to detect a significant influence of V.A. Zhukovsky the concept of N.V. Gogol’s novella “Taras Bulba”. A number of similar points were highlighted in Gogol's novella “Taras Bulba” and Zhukovsky's dramatic poem “The Maid of Orleans”: civil issues, the image of a people's leader, and so on. Writers are equally interested in the end of the country's turning point, as well as gender aspects (male severity and female lyricism; male leader; female leader, etc.). There is a similarity between the images of Gogol’s Taras Bulba and Zhukovsky’s Ioanna (civil issues, the image of a people's leader, etc.). It is concluded that the writers were equally interested in the finale of the country's turning point, as well as certain gender aspects (male severity and female lyricism; male leader; female leader, etc.). The influence of Zhukovsky’s work on Gogol can also be evidenced by the allegory of the tempter, veiled in the image of the Pole, as well as the motive of punishment for choosing the dark side.
