AB - The purpose of this paper is to draw out the symbolic theme of 「
Madman's Diary」through the careful textual examinations and some
comparative researches with 「The Overcoat」.
During the 19th century many critics of Realism including Vissarion
Belinskij have considered Gogol's 「The Overcoat」and 「Madman's Dair
y」as excellent Russian Realism works, even though they contain some
fantastic and romantic elements such as demon, ghost, madman's
fantastic thoughts. As a reaction of Realists' assertion, from the beginning
of the 20th century Андрей Белый, Валерий Брюсов, Дмитрий Мер
жковский, Василий Гиппиус, Вячеслав Иванов, Иван Еремаков, Г.
А. Гуковский, Владимир Набоков, and В.И. Еремина, who have shed
the light on innumerable unexplored aspects of Gogol's art, have insisted
that it is hardly founded any realistic elements in the both works.
As I have researched 「The Overcoat」and 「Madman's Dairy」, there
is a big difference between both protagonists ― Акакий Акакиевич Ба
шмачкин and Аксентий Иванович Поприщин. They are same age(42
years old) and the 9th rank officer of the government office at
Petersburg. However their attitudes towards the outer world are quite
different. Башмачкин's reaction is passive to them, otherwise Поприщи
н's is active and aggressive toward them. Especially the latter puts
himself into the fantastic world, then he believe himself that he could
achieve his aims through it. In both works Gogol used his own literary
device so-called 'the elimination of the limit in between reality and
dream'. In the course of the driving Поприщин refuses his identity and even recreates a new identity for himself. However he does not know
the fact that he drives himself into the destruction. In the long run his
lust and sexual desire have crushed himself.
