metadata.value: The article analyzes the previously unexplored play by S. N. Durylin Don-Juan (1908), which
  is important for identifying the writer’s creative establishment. Durylin’s innovation in the
  interpretation of the archetypical plot about Don Juan is considered. Following A. S. Pushkin
  and in dispute with him, Durylin creates a new version of how we can interpret the hero. The
  author first introduces the image of the Bright Maiden as the protagonist of the play about
  Don Juan. In such a manner, he shifts the semantic accents of the text: this plot is not about
  retribution, like Pushkin’s, but rather about the forgiveness of the hero by the Light Virgin.
  The marker for this conceptual bias is the replacement of the statuary characters. Durylin
  has a Statue of the Light Maiden, not a Commander. The interpretation of the famous plot
  is shown in the context of the Silver Age of Russian literature. In pursuit of his beloved, he is
  ready to sacrifice his most precious life. The figure of Don Juan, frozen on a horse before the
  precipice, beyond which the expanse of the sea is revealed, undoubtedly evokes in his readers’ memory the image of the bronze horseman with the entire complex of eschatological meanings
  actualized not only by Blok, but also by other symbolists. In this image and its almost
  statuary completion, Durylin indisputably creates an artistic forecast of the historical future,
  foreboding the discontinuity of the foundations of Russian life.
