Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the author’s “self” in the women’s writing, specifically in Lesya Ukrainka’s “Error”. The interpretation of the author’s important moments from the point of view of autobiography is offered, which is shown symbolically in the text. Lesya Ukrainka created a projection of her self into the work, dividing it into three components of the typical contradictions of the modern female author: Talent, Madness, Love.
