Özet:

 This article analyzes how the consciousness of the feminine figures is represented in the texts Jews Beech by Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, Нелюдимка The Misanthrope by Evdokiya Rostopchina, and Вечер у камина An Evening by the Fireplace by Anna Bunina. Although Jews Beech has enjoyed a broad research response, the focus here will be on other aspects. The text Нелюдимка The Misanthrope by Evdokiya Rostopchina was not translated into German until 2019 and is considered to have been unexplored in international discourse. This also applies to Anna Buninas oeuvre with a few exceptions. These facts determine the innovative component of the present contribution. The intended analysis uses the theories of cognitive narratology, combines them with elements of text-oriented analysis, and focuses on the female characters mental events. The article uses close reading method as its method of literary analysis. The representation of consciousness is assumed to be realized explicitly and implicitly in both epic and dramatic texts, with consciousness being marked as the object of the representation in the first form and as a motivating factor that needs to be reconstructed in the latter form. This motivating factor justifies the characters verbal, mental, and factual actions, with indicative and symbolic forms also being found for representing consciousness. The study uses the following questions to guide the intended analysis: How has the characters consciousness in epic and dramatic texts been aestheticized at the levels of histoire and discours, how are narrative strategies such as intertextual narration used for this, can similarities be identified in the texts of the German and Russian authors in relation to the representation of consciousness, and can discontinuities be identified in the depiction of the inner worlds?.
