THE PECULIARITY OF MODERN TRANSLATION RECREATION OF THE SYSTEM OF ANTINOMIC POETIC MOTIVES IN SHAKESPEARE’S SONNETS

Abstract

The issue of the modern translation recreation of the system of antinomic poetic motives in Shakespeare’s Sonnets is considered in the light of the problem of the artistic integrity of the specified poetic collection. Contemporary authors who interpreted Shakespeare’s sonnet collection as an undoubted poetic cycle have expressively confirm this position in their own translations. The system of poetic motives is an important artistic means of the cyclic organization of the Sonnets. First of all, these are conceptually significant cross-cutting motives of life, death, time, beauty, etc., but this article analyzes the translational reconstruction of antinomic motives, thanks to which the overall compositional dramatism of Shakespeare’s sonnet collection is created. The authors of the article have made these conclusions by highlighting the motives of truthfulness and lies / righteousness and viciousness in Finkel’s translation; the motives of light / darkness in the translational interpretation of Fradkin; the motives of joy / suffering, translated by Mikushevich.
