Person as a subject of the world in literary criticism

It is known that the entire history of world literature, from ancient times to the present day, can be regarded as the history of conceptual figurative and aesthetic ideas about the world and man. The complex and inextricable ties of man with the world around him, the eternal search for the harmonious coexistence of not only human individuals, but also everything else on earth - have always been the subject of the closest attention of writers, regardless of the time and place of their residence on earth. At the beginning of the last century, due to developing events, a qualitatively new round in fiction was formed. At the turn of the eras, it is not so much the narrative model that changes as the image of the person who sets the tone for the time. Some moral principles are replaced by others, and a person is faced with a choice - which path of cultural heritage will benefit, and how it will affect further events. The twentieth century pulls the trigger mechanism all the way for a stunning shot both in domestic and foreign literature.
