Abstract

The article explores the evolution and diversity of approaches to defining the concept of «literary hero». Particular attention is paid to the functions of the hero: plot-forming, ideological, psychological and symbolic. The article emphasizes that the study of the hero is not only an analysis of the literary image, but also a dialogue with the historical context, philosophical concepts and the evolution of human self-awareness
