КОМПЛЕКСНОСТЬ ИЗОБРАЖЕНИЯ ТЕМНЫХ СИЛ В ПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЯХ Э.Т.А. ГОФМАНА, Н.В. ГОГОЛЯ, М.А. БУЛГАКОВА
THE COMPLEXITY OF DEPICTING DARK FORCES IN THE WORKS OF E.T.A. HOFFMANN, N.V. GOGOL, AND M.A. BULGAKOV

Summary/Abstract: In fiction literature from different periods the satan became repeatedly the main character in novels, dramas and stories. The romantic writers looked at him from a new point of view. In their novels, fairy tales, the Satan is an ambiguous character. He combines the features of the biblical devil-seducer with those that predominated over him in folklore. These feathures influenced the poetics of N.V. Gogol and M.A. Bulgakov, especially the forming of Voland’s character in his novel »The Master and Margarita«. In the creation of both Russian writers the Satan keeps his dual character, but he acquires some other peculiarities as well that are tipical only of him in these works.
