Abstract
Literary criticism primarily draws attention to the polemical
orientation of the story “Crocodile”, its obvious attempt to denounce
the liberal opponents of Dostoevsky. The archetypal meaning of the
crocodile motif is considered in a number of works.
This work, will off er the analyzis of the story and an attempt to
discover the meanings inherent in it. In the title itself, certain game
is already being played, an indication of the imaginary nature of the
visible, the likelihood of surprises, a passage within a passage, where
the passage resembles some farce, creates the illusion of a puppet
show, where puppet characters are playing a performance in front of an invisible audience. The plot of the story is absurd, the characters are
deliberately grotesque, and the dialogues are ridiculous.
In some conditional expositional beginning, with the obvious
conventionality and unreality of what is happening, the writer gives the
exact number of events taking place – this is January 13, the Old New Year.
This event takes place at Christmas time, the period from Christmas to
Epiphany. Christmas days are accompanied by games, caroling, fortune
telling. At first glance, it may seem that the indication of January 13 as
the time of the events does not carry additional connotations and our
assumptions have no basis.
However, consistently analyzing the details offered by the writer,
replicas of the characters, we could come to the following conclusion.
At the level of hidden meanings, a new reality is set. Before us
are Christmas events, hero-masks appearing and disappearing on the
stage, traditional Christmas images.
Paradoxically, the progressive heroes of the story, acutely worried
about public opinion, Ivan Matveich and his wife, who do not want to
follow traditions and renounce their own cultural codes, hurrying to
the homeland of Wilhelm Tell and to Naples, find themselves involved
in a traditional square booth, where, against their own will are playing
sacred roles.
