The “double” image in the postmodern prose of Kamal Abdulla

Abstract

Philosophical-aesthetic categories and unique elements of postmodernism are clearly visible in Azerbaijani literature, as in world literature. In our opinion, the "shadow" archetype proposed by Jung is based on a “double” image, which is widely used in mythology and later in fiction. The “double” image has always been relevant in the works of Kamal Abdulla. From this point of view, characters created by him in the novels "The Unfinished Manuscript", "The Adventure of Mysteries", "Plato seems to have fallen ill..." and "Namesakes" have are great importance in terms of reflecting the author's idea and the specific qualities of the postmodern text.
