Герой и проблема героизации в русской литературе XIX века : наброски к теме

The Hero belongs to the epic world. The existance in the novel world deprives him of the completeness which he had before when there was no gap between his inner and outer life. In the novel world he is bereft of the epic wholeness and he is not able to be the heroic Hero. The father of this kind of unrealised hero was represented in Russian literature by Pechorin. He is the one who possesses the trend of being hero but fails to realize it under condition of "our time". In the 1840's side by side with Pechorin's type of a hero with the broken wholeness another kind of hero comes in parallel existence, the one who similar to the epic Hero is quite identical with himself and completed but he is not a Hero. The father of the kind can be considered Gogol's Bashmachkin. The completeness of this character does not endow him with Destiny (as in case with the epic Hero), just the opposite - it deprives him of any chance to have its own Destiny. The subject of this envisaging further development research must become characteristic features and peripateia of the process of heroising and deheroising in the literature of the second half of 19th century.
