The purpose of this article is to show the character of death as a full-fledged hero of a literary work. The author analyzes Hofmannstahl’s dramas: The Fool and the Death, Great Salzburg’s World Theater, Chlebnikov: Death’s Bug, Krzanowski’s Death throws bones. The images of death that appear in them present it as the messenger of God and the companion of the journey to the land of the beginning. In this performance, it loses its scary features. Otherwise, the author uses folk imagery of death. Then it is endowed with human qualities – it can be deceived, though it can not be won with it.
