The article addresses the semantic relations of Rudkovsky, a modern playwright, with Chekhov’s comedies. The self-consciousness of a person in Chekhov’s drama is directly connected with the historic memory, and this idea is interpreted in Rudkovsky’s works through the theatrical experiment, allowing the actresses to go through war as a personal experience, and for the audience – to set right “the joint” of time.
The article is dedicated to the comparative analysis of water metaphors in Maupassant’s and Chekhov's comedies, which enables a clear understanding of the nature of their heroes. This, in turn, helps understand the nature of art and the picture of the world in general.
