Summary/Abstract: In the perception of Lesya Ukrainka, the figures of Prometheus and Jesus Christ are embodied in two models of freedom through suffering, representing different vectors of human culture and consciousness and psycho-behavioral personality types. The writer transfers the notion of freedom from sphere of morality (the motive of challenging God) to existential sphere (the motive of equality with God), and this change of emphases correlates in her work with the neo-romantic ideal of ‘sovereign’ personality.
