COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LOVE LYRICS OF A.A. FET AND XU ZHIMO

Abstract

The subject of the research is love lyrics of A.A. Fet and Xu Zhimo. Love is an eternal theme in literature. The theme of love occupies a special place in Fet’s lyrics. In China at that time there is also a “romantic” poet – Xu Zhimo. He, like Fet, calls for love, freedom and the beauty of nature. Xu Zhimo is very popular in China. This article uses a parallel research method to compare love poems of these two poets from different cultures, as well as Russian and Chinese poetic traditions, with a focus on the psychology and process of love, love and aesthetics, as well as the beauty of the syllable rhythm of love poems. Currently, there are many studies of love lyrics of A.A. Fet, while research on Xu Zhimo’s love poems is relatively small. The comparative study of Fet and Chinese poetry is mainly focused on comparing the motives of Fet’s poetry and ancient Chinese poetry, as well as a comparative study of similar images. But a comparative study of the psychology and essence of love in the portrayal of these poets has not previously been carried out. This article conducts a detailed comparison of the love poems of Fet and Xu Zhimo, suggesting a micro-analysis of specific texts.
