THE MOTIVE OF REPENTANCE IN RUSSIAN AND FOREIGN LITERATURE

Abstract

People can make mistakes in life. But they tend to feel guilty and repent after a while. The ability to admit guilt is a very important quality for a person. Therefore, many Russian and foreign authors devoted their works to such a human feeling as remorse. This article examines works of national and foreign authors, in which the topic of repentance has become the main one or has been touched upon. A comparative analysis of how national and foreign authors reveal the theme of repentance in their works is carried out. Drawing conclusions from the works of Russian and foreign authors, the main theme of which is repentance, we can say that they all make us understand that it is natural for a person to make mistakes and repent of what he has done over time. Only someone needs more time to come to repentance, and someone less. The main conclusion of the article indicates that both in domestic and foreign literature it can be traced that redemption for the heroes of works is not easy. It requires a lot of internal work by the person who made the mistake. Thus, the analyzed works conceal a deep educational potential, which is successfully realized in the process of teaching all new generations of citizens of our country, since many such works are included in the school literature curriculum.
