  • Descrição: In an analysis of A. Solzhenitsyn's ideas of the artist in modern society, his fictional works are seen as the story of man's search for identity & meaning. The protagonist in THE DEER AND THE PROSTITUTE never finds himself or why he is on this earth because, when put in a position of power, he refuses to recognize the need to become corrupt. He is destroyed. Kostoglotov in THE CANCER WARD returns to his native village to die of cancer. Here he recognizes that his years in prison camps have left his life unfulfilled, yet he fathoms the division between the ideal & the reality of life, & understands that truth is reached by a process of comparison. Nerzhin in THE FIRST CIRCLE notes the discrepancy between life & his ideal & selects the ideal -- which results in his being transported to the frozen wastes of northern Russia. Denisovich in ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF IVAN DENISOVICH masters life to fit the ideal, while Matryona in MATRYONA'S HOME lives for an ideal that results in her death. Thus, art is what each individual makes of his own life: the closer he/she can come to an ideal, the better that work of art. Solzhenitsyn's positive characters, eg, Matryona & Ivan Denisovich, live more in tune with these laws than do his negative characters, eg, Stalin & Rusanov, who corrupt themselves with the external & who become slaves of the system & willing participants in their own dehumanization & destruction.
