Abstract

The article highlights and analyses archetypical images pictured on artists’ canvases in V. Vynnychenko’s plays. This is the new aspect of studying master’s drama, which has determined studio’s relevance and goal: to substantiate artistic nature, specific content and functional of the archetypal origins. The question is all about similar images that have archetype nature and are connected to a symbolical depiction of the matter of life. The human fantasy is one of the main sources of the archetypes, as well as the basis of the artistic process, showing, by the way, prototypes that are located in the collective unconscious. Images, located in collective unconscious, deep in people’s fears and hopes, can show up through art precisely, that is why they’re able to bring a resonance in the receivers’ souls.  Archetypes are used to cause any type of effective infusion, therefore the artist – is the one who possesses the high level of perception to archetypical forms and is able to realize them extremely accurately, which approximates artist to prophets and other psychological types according to K. G. Jung. So the notion «archetype» as the studies tool allows us to highlight text nuances, understand the mechanism of the psychological impact of the art matter on the reader.

The result of analysis is that the archetype oh the mother, father and child are mythological and irrational symbols. Their variety is changing, but the overall essence is common for them all. They are directly connected to the archetype of «self», that determines realization of the individualization process as the self-assertion in the world. Such decoding allows us to realize the philosophical subtext of the plays and denote the author’s views.

The presence of the pictures with the child archetype in both texts – is the product of complicated psychological processes in the V. Vynnychenko’s consciousness. There are personal worries (marriage, son’s death), that undoubtedly, has crucially affected author, continuing and realizing in his art. Actually, it is also about the impact of products of the unconscious fantasy (forgotten or displaced), and collective memory, that is inheriting and realizing in consciousness due to some accidents.
