Abstract

The article presents the results investigating the problem of the influence of narrative transformations in a literary fairy tale on the dynamics of the characters' identity. Studying changes in the narrative of a literary fairy tale is a way of understanding the characteristics of the development of personal identity, which helps determine the nature of the interaction between the identity of the heroes of the work and its reproduction in real life circumstances. The essence of identity is determined as a dynamic structure that influences the formation of integrity, predetermining the nature of a person’s self-determination in the process of choosing values. Scientific approaches to the interpretation of identity are characterized: literary, ontological, anthropological, psychoanalytic, sociological, cognitive-oriented, existential-humanistic, narrative. The content of the narrative is presented as a set of linguistic and psychological structures that unfold past events in the present time, transforming the state of the characters. It is noted that the narrative matrix of narrative schemes is a literary fairy tale as an author's work that focuses on elements of reality and fantasy. The purpose of the article is to substantiate and analyze the influence of transformations in the narrative of a literary fairy tale on the evolution of the characters’ identity. The object of the study is the narrative of literary fairy tales by A. Zuber “Golden Grains”, V. Sukhomlynskyi “Chrysanthemum and Onion”, A. Zaitseva “The Tale of Fear”, Lesya Ukrainka “Three Butterflies”. The subject of the study is the characteristics of the characters' identity in these fairy tales. The article uses research methods: analysis of scientific works, systematization of approaches, generalization of provisions on the role of narrative in a literary fairy tale, comparison of works, narrative analysis. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the narrative in a literary work influences personal identity and contributes to the assimilation of experience. The process of transformation of the narrative in a literary fairy tale determines the nature of changes in identity, which is reproduced in the worldview of the narrator. Narrative analysis of literary fairy tales has shown that dynamic changes in the identity of the heroes of fairy tales in the process of transformation of the narrative of the work causes the emergence of a spectrum of identity changes: loss, self-searching, taking on new roles, lessons of compassion, overcoming obstacles, revaluation of values, etc. The novelty of the research results lies in the identification of the characteristics of the characters’ identity depending on changes in the narrative of a literary fairy tale. Further prospects for research may be related to the description of identity models of heroes of literary fairy tales and their classification according to their functions in the work.
