For Cvetaeva the eyes were always the expression of a man’s soul. It was through the eyes that she would first estimate the personality of people that she met in the course of her life. In her opinion, the eyes reflected the most important features of an individual. That is why wanting to fully express an opinion about someone, including protagonists of her works, she would use a metaphor in describing their look. The eyes were the driving force for Cvetaeva and dark eyes, especially hazel, stimulated her artistic imagination. Having hazelnut eyes equalled for her belonging to a spiritually rich and intelligent nation. The article contains an interpretation of works in which the description of eyes plays a significant role.

The paper presents relationship between the creative writing methods of Bogaev, turn of-the-century Russian playwright, and the craftsmanship of Gogol - outstanding literary classic. Bogaev's intention is to show that the ideas included in works of satire, grotesque and caricature master are still true. The epoch of absurdity depicted in the Gogol's prose is not over. There is still a number of absurdities determining the surrounding reality. Both writers focused on irrational dependence of human being on things. Gogol claimed that the depemdenceon things is damaging to human psyche since it makes him a slave and kills humanity in human being. Following in his predecessor's footsteps, Bogaev points at dead souls frequently using personification of things, which in his works are bearers and advocates of essential human values.
