Shakespearean Allusions In B. Pasternak's Poetry

The article focuses on the research of the creative reception of explicit Shakeaspearean allusions in B. Pasternak’s poetry. The authors analyze and group Shakespearean codes and literary devices, and focus on the way they are actualized in Shakespearean allusions in the poetic works of B. Pasternak. In doing so they introduce the concept of the idea-marker. In the article the authors consistently prove their hypothesis that the idea-marker of the creative perception of explicit Shakeaspearean allusions in B. Pasternak’s poetry lies in the duality of the dramaturgical imagery used in the poems. The authors believe that the keynotes of Shakespearean codes are seen and realized in the twin-like images of the narrator: Hamlet and a tragedian from W. Shakespeare’s play. Other literary (Pushkin, Bryusov) and musical (Chopin) personalities that appear in the poems also work as doubles of W, Shakespeare in these allusions. Drama Shekspirova (“Shakespearean drama”) and the drama of life are brought together in B. Pasternak’s creative perception.
