A FEW NOTES ON THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE DEVILS BY FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY AND THE QUEEN OF SPADES BY ALEXANDER PUSHKIN
Abstract
This article investigates the intertextual connections between the novel «The Devils» by Fyodor Dostoevsky and
«The Queen of Spades» by Alexander Pushkin. The author shows that Fyodor Dostoevsky combines two (and
sometimes three) projections of several characters from Alexander Pushkin's story in one character. These projections
are related to the theme of abandonment, which is described as the unity of the three positions of characters: "tyrant" -
"liberator" - "orphan". We mention the fact that Dostoevsky uses Pushkin's triad of Old Countess - German - Lizaveta
Ivanovna to describe Stavrogin - Stepan Verkhovensky - Dasha relationship.
