Annotation

The article deals with the mythological subtext of the dreams of the protagonist Marakulin of the novel “Sisters of the Cross” by A.M. Remizov. In the first dream the character is compared with Prometheus, in the second one — with Pro­phet Ezekiel by the Old Testament Book, in the third — with John Baptist, in the fourth — with the new Christ. Thus, subtext shows evolution of the hero from immediate (“pagan”) attitude to Christian idea of sacrificial love to people.
