ОБРАЗ ВСАДНИКА В ТВОРЧЕСТВЕ МАРИНЫ ЦВЕТАЕВОЙ

The image of the horse rider is one of the key motifs of Russian literature that have an archetypal origin. This figure is one of those images-symbols through which the mythological consciousness of the bearers of the Russian picture of the world is manifested. In Tsvetaeva's work, the image of rider and horse is not central, but rather significant. In the poet's perception, the horse ennobles the rider, nominates him with a sacred status, which corresponds to the Rus-sian picture of the world. The rider and the horse of Tsvetaeva's poetry merge into a kind of inseparable unity. The prospect of a rider is associated not only with an increase in status, but also with the assignment of responsibility. Tsvetaeva repeats the traditional features of the horse and rider in the Russian picture of the world, which include chivalry, heroism, nobility, sacredness, mediation between the worlds, dynamic force, natural instincts, creative inspiration, the unconscious, spontaneity.
