Summary/Abstract: The article reconstructs the archetypes of the “penitent sinner” and “trickster” in the selected works of M. Goretsky of the Vyatka period. It is emphasized that within the framework of the intra-literary space, the analysis of images with connotations of archetypes in the works of M. Goretsky reveals the psychological state of the writer, his hidden ego, which is a valuable material for understanding the literary heritage of both the Belarusian classic and fiction in general. It is proved that the writer did not model the actions of the literary characters of the work consciously, adjusting to the stereotype of behavior according to the archetype. The attention is also focused on the absence of archetypal plots. The actualization of archetypes is unconscious.
