Աստվածաշնչյան միստերիայի արդի գեղարվեստականացումը Նորայր Ադալյանի «Մրջնանոց» վեպում

<jats:p>The subject of this article is Norayr Adalyan’s novel “The Anthill”, which stands out for its symbolic layers and modernist outlook. It goes beyond a mere description of events and transforms into a philosophical and artistic allegory. The world of ants is presented as a symbol of social, socio-political, and existential issues. The novel serves as an indirect critique of systems and mass mentality, where the organized life of ants becomes a model for the loss of individuality. Methods and materials: The study applies comparative, psychological, psychoanalytic, and biographical methods. It also involves comparison between different literary works. Analysis: Through biblical narratives, the work highlights the chaotic state of modern times and the reality of losing individuality within the human model. Results: The novel is an indirect critique directed at systems and the crowd. It portrays a world where the organized life of ants becomes a model for the loss of individuality. The ant here is not merely an insect, but a tool for allegorical representation of the human condition, its psychological and civilizational limitations. The conflict between the individual and the system is evident. This recalls Kafkaesque situations, in which man faces an anonymous, intangible, yet omnipotent system.</jats:p>
