Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the reflective character in the play "Duck Hunt" by A. Vampilov. The author proceeds from the literary type of "superfluous man", that was discovered in the early 19th century by A.S. Pushkin's novel "Eugene Onegin" and that continued its existence in such heroes of Russian literature as Pechorin, Beltov, Rudin, Oblomov. The author highlights the distinctive features of the studied literary type in the play "Duck Hunt" and in the movie "Holiday in September", and stops at the plot-forming function of "replacement" in the play.
