II. TANULMÁNYOK A NYELV-, AZ IRODALOMÉS - Dr. Hekli József: Viktor Rozov hőstípusai

ON THE HEROES OF VICTOR ROZOV BY DR. JOSEPH HEKLI Most of the dramatic works of Victor Rozov deal with pathfinding and moral meditation of the growing-up generation. His plays always feed on the social reality of a given era and pick out one of the characteristic trends of life, one typical form of human behaviour. The dramatist used to be one of the ordinary eminences of Soviet dramatic literature, without whose works it would have been inconceivable to take a qualitative step forward in this genre. It can generally be said that it is Rozov who has built the road leading Soviet dramatic literature from a simplifying and schematic style to a more modern, a more motivated kind of realism. The majority of the heroes of his works are the young people of today. At the same time these „young people in schorts" - the favourite characters - are mostly the media of the basic idea of the writer. Very serious opinions are expressed even by their seemingly childisch deeds and at the same time these young people embody all the tensions and dissonance of adolescence. Andrei Averin is the prototype (Children Grow Up 1954). From the mid 60' s the playwright began to examine what the former children had become, how they could settle down as grown-ups. how they were considering their former selves and the world. While he artfully depicts the „young people in shorts", he cannot always manage to grasp the „old boys" in their artistic totality. The most interesting types of the adult heroes of today can be found in „Class Reunion" but the rest of his plays also prove that the dramatist - year by year - has become more exacting and brave in the creation of his characters. 191
