У статті простежено еволюцію мотиву втечі в драматургії Лесі Українки. Доведено, що прагнення свободи набуває амбівалентного характеру в інтерпретації авторки та протиставляється
стоїцизмові окремих персонажів. Рецепцію синдрому втечі як сюжетотворчого і характеротворчого
чинника
запропоновано
на
прикладі
драматичних
творів
«Три
хвилини»,
«Осіння
казка»,
«Кассандра»,
«Руфін і Прісцілла»,
«Адвокат
Мартіан».
(The article traces the evolution of the motif of escape writer’s drama. The focus is not on the internal
migration but the spatial movement of characters in order to release. The analysis of escape syndrome
as plot-making and character-making factor is made on the material of dramatic works «Three Minutes»,
«Autumn Tale,» «Cassandra», «Rufin and Priscilla», «Advocate Martian.» Some of the characters are specially
underlined
in
the
research
such
as
mythological
characters
runaway
(Helena),
the
characters
who
have
reputation
of
winner
(Hector),
the
professional
seducer,
with
whom
many
victims
dare
to
escape
(Don
Juan).
There
are
the
examples
of
escape,
which
is
a
response
to
the
ideological,
moral,
psychological
discomfort.
However,
mostly
the
escape
is
the
result
of
the
desire
of
spiritual
freedom,
radical
lifestyle
changes.
It
is
emphasized
that
migration
stands
a
through
line
event
in
many
works
of
Lesya
Ukrainka.
However,
often
escape
is
not
fully
implemented
and
stays
the
intention
that
causes
unresolved
plot.
Preferably
the
escape
is
useless
in
texts
of
the
writer
as
it
becomes
a
new
prison,
leading
to
self-destroing
of
the
characters.
Special
attention
is payed to motif of the rejection
of escape in Lesya Ukrainka’s
dramas.
It
is
proved
that
the
pursuit
of
freedom
becomes
ambivalent
nature
in
the
author’s
interpretation
and
is
opposed
to the stoicism of certain characters. Overcoming
of escape syndrome
is accompanied by sacrifice,
but
in
whole
the
category
of
internal
freedom
in
the
art
world
of
Lesya
Ukrainka
is
a
constructive
alternative
for
destructive temptations of escapism.)
