| The category of time (as well as the category of space) is one of the most universal categories. This category is not only the basis for the plot of the novel, but it also reflects the author's world outlook and his understanding of the objective reality. The action of the novel «In the Dead-End» takes place during the Russian revolution of 1917, which divided the history of the country into «before and after». Therefore, the category of time becomes one of the most important structure-forming categories. The activation of time base «Past-Present» turns out to be highly productive in this novel. Owing to this category, the events of the plot are in a tense progress. The change of epochs in the history of the country is shown in this novel through universal ethical categories. |
