Abstract

The article gives an analysis of some features of the composition of Marina Tsvetaeva’s poem “The Rat-Man”, which is analyzed by researchers relatively more often than other works of hers, which does not exclude, however, the presence of some gaps in the picture created by them. Particular emphasis is placed on the synthesis of external and internal conflict. Special focus has been made on syntheses of external and internal conflict, as well as the role of title and dedication of the creation. The relevance of the study is determined by the significant role of Marina Tsvetaeva in the literary process of the first half of the 20th century. Her work continues to influence the state of modern poetry. As an argument in favor of the relevance of this study, one should also point out the unflagging interest in Marina Tsvetaeva’s creative work and the infinity of comprehension of her poetic arsenal, which allows for a wide variety of interpretations. The authors of the paper come to the conclusion that the poem “The Rat-Man” is an anti-mesh poem of great exposing power. In terms of the contents this is the most relevant political work created by the poet.
