Abstract
З метою визначення творчого методу Франсуази Саган в статті зроблено комплексний аналіз проблематики, основних конфліктів, характерів, структурних особливостей досліджуваного роману. В результаті виявлено
як риси реалістичного методу (вплив соціуму на головного героя, пізнавально-аналітичне начало, художній відбір),
так і риси екзистенціалізму (проблема вибору, проблема свободи особистості, проблема відчуження, ідея абсурду,
рефлектуючий, схильний до самоаналізу і психоаналізу герой). Зроблено висновок, що в романі спостерігається взаємопроникнення реалізму і екзистенціалізму.
(To define Francoise Sagan’s artistic method a complex analysis of the problems, main conflicts, characters and the
structure of the investigated novel is made. The theme of the novel is defined as solitude in a love affair caused by estrangement which appears even between those who are eager to be a couple. The psychoanalytical efforts of the author are aimed at the understanding of the reasons for this phenomenon. The selfish tendencies of the character and the urge towards personal freedom are pointed out as things ruining relations. Two conflicts are singled out: the conflict between two absolutely different psychological types of personality and the inner conflict of the main character between his love which presupposes
dependence and his yearning for independence and personal freedom. Psychological incompatibility of the main characters is shown through their ability of making a choice and through their different treatment of people and situations. The author accents the influence of the surroundings on the protagonist, Gilles, a typical Bohemian. The main heroine is not a typical one. She is intelligent, uncompromising, passionate, exalted maximalist. These two love each other but it leads them to the tragedy instead of happiness. The idea of absurdity runs through the entire book. The characters are introspective, inclined to depression. All this testifies to the existence of both the features of the realistic trend (the influence of the social surroundings on the main character, cognitive analytical principle, artistic selection) and the features of existentialism (the problem of choice, the problem of personal freedom, the problem of estrangement, the idea of absurdity, the sensitive characters inclined
to self-analysis and psychoanalysis). A conclusion is made that a kind of interpenetration of realism and existentialism is observed in this novel.
