Rozin, V. M. Marina Tsvetaeva’s Personality and Tragedy

Abstract: The author bases his article on the Internet discussion about Marina Tsvetaeva. Some people involved in the discussion accused her of her bad treatment and attitude towards her daughters while others tried to defend her by saying that she was a great poet. The author of the article summarizes the main ‘pro and contra’ arguments and forms his own hypothesis based on which Tsvetaeva was a diversiÞ ed personality: on one part, she was an esoteric poet and on the other part she was a usual yet marginal person. Such hypothesis allows to explain Tsvetaeva’s strange behavior as well as her maniac passion for diaries. At the end of the article the author raises the question about interpretation of creative work from the point of view of an author’s life reconstructions and personality.


Keywords:

cultural studies, personality, poetry, choice, piece of work, tragedy, disintegration, duality, consciousness.
