Wtajemniczony pielgrzym Adama Mickiewicza i milczący kobziarz Tarasa Szewczenki: powiązanie ideologemów romantyzmu

Abstract

The article reveals the formation and content of one of the common ideologues of Ukrainian and Polish romanticism, which is based on suppressed messianism and manifests the indomitability of romantic progress towards the truth. This ideologeme embodied in the images of the Adam Mickiewicz’s initiated into the sacred secret pilgrim, who has his counterpart in the image of the Taras Shevchenko`s divine silent prophet. Both images represent the embodied idea of the messianic destiny of their people and the herald himself. The messianic basis of this ideologeme, its connection with biblical traditions, with the theme of the prophet in the books of the Bible is considered as the main formative factor of the poetic heritage of both authors. The leading common characteristics of the Mickiewicz’s pilgrim and the silent Shevchenko’s kobzar are named: mental, narrative, motive, figurative, ideological and messianic, first of all. A common narrative instance (within the studied ideologeme) is a wandering orphan, an exile of will, the narrators often resort to dialogues (in particular, with God). Imagological ascents are observed at several levels: 1) the heart as the main personal dimension, it is equal to the personality; 2) a confused soul cheers for the fate of its people; 3) a subtle sense of the environment and nature. Typological close motifs: 1) the motif of death, the afterlife; 2) road motive; 3) the motif of the homeland as opposed to a foreign land; 4) longing for the lost homeland and boredom with the foreign country where the poet is forced to stay 5) motif of a suffering heart; 6) motif of tears. It is noted that in the system of romanticism literature, this ideologeme is the most relevant and caused a number of modifications at the level of formations of the poetic world of Ukrainians and Poles.
