| dc.description.abstract | The research aims to examine both the similarities and differences in the narrative of the two novels – Nabokov’s “Lolita” and Zamyatin’s “We”. By focusing
on common narrative features, I aim to demonstrate the narrator’s ability to manipulate his readers in order to win them over to his side. At the same time, the
thesis seeks to show the extent to which the audience is capable of succumbing to
the narrator’s attempts to control their understanding, while also revealing the
points at which cracks in his argument begin to emerge. Through comparative
analysis, the points of contact, as well as the points of divergence between the two
texts are revealed. In order to provide the most accurate interpretation, the systems
of images used are drawn both from previously published texts from Russian and
other literatures and from established archetypes embedded in the two novels. | en_US |
