seen the split of the subject. On the one hand, it may imply a certain detachment from the author himself
from the present and the past. On the other hand, the autobiographical creation assumes the coincidence
of the author and the hero. The author endowed his hero with his own biography, destiny and character.
Thus, it was analyzed that the author did not copy the mirror reflection of his personality. It seems that
he grasped his biography and did not copy the reality directly, but creatively transforms it. Moreover, in
