Степанов А. Г. Стихотворение Беллы Ахмадулиной "Твой дом": поэтика обмана
Bella Akhmadulina’s poem „Your House” (1959) is analysed. The text describes a narrator’s visit to her beloved one; on this event the man’s house is indued with autonomous person’s properties and is hiding true information concerning the private life of the host. The article is aimed at showing those poetic devices are used to actualize the said passive cheat and the ways it defines the artistic originality of the text. The heroine’s attitude to the house is dual. On the one hand, she notes its amiability and tact, yet on the other hand she feels that the house is leading her astray. The visitor is leaving the „unfamiliar” and „dear” house that has lost her trust. The final address to the house („Do not console me with your cheat”) shows not just human dignity, but also a position of a poet of the sixties for who values truth and frankness more than kindness.
