"The Captain's Daughter" by A.S. Pushkin and "Woodstock" by W. Scott: ornithoplates, paronomasia (article 2)

The article deals with the influence of ornithosymbol-- ism of W. Scott's "Woodstock" on the ornithoseman-- tics of A.S. Pushkin's "Captain's Daughter". "Captain's Daughter" is considered against the background of Walter Scott's historical novel as a phenomenon of historiosophic prose. The connection between the New Testament code of Pushkin's novel and the soterio-- logical plot, which models the initiation ritual and an integral soteriological myth, is revealed. The question about the metaphorical dialog of the characters of "Woodstock", who compare wild and domestic birds, as a possible source of the antithesis of the eagle and the raven in "The Captain's Daughter", is raised.
