R. Musil, dialectics, male image, female image, epithet, comparison

The article examines the theme of “connection” of male and female, the theme of “another state”, in which the male or “rationoid”, active, intellectual principle strives to merge with the female, “non-rational", passive, sensual in the work of the Austrian writer of the 20^th century R. Musil “Portuguese”. Currently, the role relations of men and women are being reconsidered. The issue of the gender picture of our society (which is also formed in people’s minds by fiction) is more often raised. Based on the axiological and anthropological approaches, as well as the method of general textual analysis, integrated study of language means, the authors come to the conclusion that the self-realization of men and women occurs through the merging of the male and female leading to harmony and unity. The striking contrast of the male and female images in the portrait characteristics, actions, and deeds of the characters, the psychology of behavior in the development of the plot is expressed in vivid comparisons and epithets, and in the vocabulary of certain semantic groups. Despite the two polar ways of perception of one reality, the desire to understand each other, the feeling of love become a force that unite the opposites.
