Archetype Ego, Self in Abai's work (Mythopoetic features of “Mood” in Abai's poems)

Abstract

In this article, the essence of the archetype of the Ego, the Self of K. Jung is considered as a kind of collective unconsciousness. When analyzing the works of K. Jung, the harmony of the Ego and mind, the Self is the basis of conscious life, and the disobedience of the Ego to the mind of the Self leads to various passions, such as arrogance, self-patronage, vanity, and lust for power. An analysis of the poet's poems has demonstrated that the manifestation of the archetype of the Ego, Self in Abai's work is mythopoetic in nature. The peculiarities and differences of myth, mythology and mythopoetics in literary criticism are highlighted from the works of researchers. In the studies of G.A. Tokareva, S.M. Telegin, who studied mythopoetics, the ways and methods of revealing mythopoetics in nature of amazing images in a work of art are considered.
Cognition of the poet's ego became possible owing to the study of the diverse and changeable image of the concept of “state of mind” in the works of Abai.
