Konson, G. R. Scientific and Critical Literature on the Psychology of Andrey Kovrin in Anton Chekhov’s Story ‘The Black Monk’

Abstract: The article is devoted to interpretations of the image of Andrey Kovrin from Anton Chekhov’s story ‘The Black Monk’ in scientific and critical literature. Researchers still haven’t arrived at a common view on the interpretation of this literary hero. According to Konson, during his meetings with the monk the main character learns new meanings and therefore understands that he was wrong trying to find happiness not in himself but in excelling his surroundings. Based on that, Andrey Kovrin experiences what is usually called the ‘symbolic transformation’ in psychology, or a ‘new connection between ‘Self’ and the other world’ (definition offered by Pavel Gurevich). The research method used by the author combines several types of analysis – ethical-philosophical, psychological, historical, literary and comparative analysis. which, in general, allows to expand capacities of anthropological knowledge. The scientific novelty of the article is caused by the fact that Konson offers his own interpretation of the images of the black monk and Andrey Kovrin. According to Konson, the black monk is a mirage that appears in the exhausted de-personified mind of Andrey Kovrin and the monk’s prophecy becomes the meaning of Kovrin’s existence. When Andrey creates his world perception at a new philosophical level, he is finally settled in life.

Keywords:

Anton Chekhov’s story, Andrey Kovrin, black monk, scientist, de-personified consciousness, sanity and insanity, magnitude, genius, mental, psychiatry, twin, doppelganger.
