MOTIVES OF EXPECTATION, ANXIETY AND FEAR IN THE COLLECTION OF DINO BUZZATI “SIXTY STORIES”

Abstract

The article studies of motives that are often found in the stories of Dino Buzzati. The purpose of the work is to study the specifics of the development of the motives of expectation, anxiety and fear in the collection “Sixty Stories”. To explain the role of these motives, it is necessary to compare different and similar texts, so the main thing is the comparative method. The selected motives are analyzed in relation to the motives of the way and movement. Expectation can be associated with both destructive and creative experiences. Anxiety arises in a situation of imminent danger (then anxiety can turn into fear) and in a situation of hope for the good (expectations may not be fulfilled). The researcher reveals the category of “unknown” in any example. Upon completion of the study, it is recognized that it is necessary to consider the three motives as a system necessary to uncover the theme of the absurdity of human existence.
