The thesis deals with archetypes, which are dominantive in the artistic models of the world of I.Dratch and M.Orest. These poets have many similarities in interpretation of archetypes in poetry, despite the fact that I.Dratch belongs to the creative generation of sixties and the poetic style of M.Orest characteryses as newclassisism and symbolism. Besides M.Orest wrote his poetry chiefly in Ausburg, Germany. The rice high necessity to research more deeply the archetypical images, because these images connected with world’s myths, folk-wievs on the objects and phenomenons of the world. Archetype can give us the opportunity to explain the world and national symbols, which have a lot in common not only in different cultures, but also in national diasporic and “mainland” literature. The genetic affinity between the creative work of both authors shows in practical analysis, but there are the separate author’s interpretation of some aspects of archetypes. Archetype is the term, substantiated by K.-G.Jung. It is well known that the guesses about the integrative factor of humanity were long before founder of the four-level structure of individual. Archetype in the theory of K.-G.Jung means that this the genetically given psychical structures, original / prime shemes of fantasy images that can be founding collective unconsciousness, and apriori forme activity of imagination; are basic for human symbolics, can be found in myths and supersfitions, dreams, fiction etcetera. K.-G.Jung demonstrated the connection between the myth, art and archetype. For the first time he includes unconsciousness into the chain art – archetype – myth – myth creative work. Literary term archetype is different from the term of the same name in phylosophy or in psychology. For the first time in ukrainian criticism I.Franko substantiated the methodological conception, which based on the interpretation of work with help of psychology. Archetype develops in symbol. Archetype connected with the artistic modelling. The level of showing archetype in literary working is depended on the genre. In lyrics archetype shows mainly in the images. In epic literature – in motives and plots. Archetypes give us the opportunity to explain the subtext of the artistic images. The archetypes of seasons represent the ancient ideas about connection between the natural cycles and people’s life. Winter was associated with death, summer with the victory of life, autumn and spring were very responsible, because there were changes in the arable farming work. The archetype of sun in poetry includes these sences: truth, good, spirituality. I.Dratch used the images of seasons for describing and analysis his own life and life of other people. The seasons in poetry of M.Orest are more subjective, because the author interested in Buddhism and East philosophy. Рoet analysed his role in life. M.Orest tryed to be deep in thought readers of his lyric poetry. He disturbed the question of ethics and morals. Lyric hero chiefly is an image of traveller, guest or exile. M.Orest contrasted people’s life with it imperfect nature with the world of nature. The archetype of tree has connection with the ideas about the universe and it’s connection with the soul of human. The archetype of tree representative three components of the world in accordance with the religion and without it: the past, the present and the future; hell, paradise or sky and real life or the land at the certain time and expanse. The image of tree was described both authors in accordance with the myth about World Tree or Mountain. I.Dratch has a poetical cycle ,,Trees”, M.Orest has a cycle ,,Gift to trees”. The image of guelder-rose is very important for I.Dratch, because it is the intermediary between the real life and hell, where souls of ancestors are. The image of wood is the sourse of wisdom, highest knowledge. Lyric heroes of poets image their transform into tree. Consistently both poets represent the archetype of woman. I.Dratch includes these sences: mother, wife, grandmother, granddaughter, fiancee, sweetheart, the Virgin Mary. In the poetry of M.Orest woman has connection with nature and divine world. In representation of motherland both poets associate it with memory about ancestors, images of ukrainian song, and with such symbols as tchebrets, jevchan-zillya (a sort of steppe wormwood). The archetype of town is very important in the artistic modelling of the world in creative work of I.Dratch and M.Orest. This archetype interpretated as the centre of spirituality, culture and artistic inspiration. Both authors saw the image of divine town. Town at time of Great Fatherly War described as Apocalypse.
