МОНОЛОГ Н. В. ГОГОЛЯ В МНОГОГОЛОСЬЕ «ЖЕНИТЬБЫ»
MONOLOGUE OF N. V. GOGOL IN THE POLYPHONY OF "MARRIAGE"

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the concept of the comedy Gogol "Marriage" in a single creative and biographical context. The play is related to the early Gogol works, the stories of "Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka", the comedy "The Inspector General", the "Nevsky Prospekt", the history of the writer's later alleged matchmaking and the long-standing monastic aspirations of Gogol. In the "polyphony" of "Marriage" the hidden author's position, the ascetic attitude of the writer to marriage, as well as the connection between the idea of ​​the play and the hagiographic literature, become clear. Biblical and evangelical reminiscences were noted, which determined the circle of Gogol's reflections on the ways of salvation in monasticism or in a marriage union. The ideological and thematic rolls between the "Marriage" and the surviving chapters of the second volume of "Dead Souls" are planned. Some possible prototypes of Gogol's heroes are established. The unity of the artist's creative path is emphasized.
