The article analyzes the real meanings of one of the most famous works by Marko Vovchok “Three Fates”. Attention is drawn to the conformity of the foundations of the writer’s imaginative thinking, her observations on the accentuation of the heroes’ characters to the leading theses of the philosophy of love, which was gradually formed by philosophers and artists, and then refined and continues to be studied by psychologists and psychoanalysts.
It is argued that the author, by focusing on the analysis of the heroes’ feelings, encouraged readers to realize the narrowness of stereotypical ideas about love as the quintessence of human existence.
Keywords: principles of characterization, meaning of the image, psychologism of prose, typology of love, character accentuation.
