Antropologiczny aspekt pisarstwa Lidii Zinowjewej-Annibał. Obraz kobiety w dramacie Кольца

The article is devoted to an attempt at analyzing the symbolist drama by Lydia Zinovieva-Annibał Кольца (The Wedding Rings) in connection with the image of woman created in it. The writer creates a woman renouncing what restricts her (individualism, egoism) and trying to rise to what is universal, to achieve freedom in this way. The protagonist is the incarnation of beauty, good and love, understood in the spirit of Plato’s philosophy as an androgynic unity. The poet polemicizes with Plato’s idea, showing that such a love restricts humans and becomes a prison for them. The title wedding rings constitute that kind of a feeling. Giving her husband up to another woman, the protagonist wants to open herself to the cosmic love, to the ocean of love in this way and regain freedom. However, she turns out to be unprepared and too weak for that freedom. She manages to open her soul, but her heart still remains trapped in the circle of her love towards her husband.
