Abstract [eng] In order to analyse Akhmatova’s pathway to self-awareness and self-realisation, the article focuses on her readings and interpretations of certain cultural texts. The analysis unfolds in the direction of P. Ricoeur’s reflexive tradition. In that case, the reading range (Shakespeare’s Hamlet) and the literary characters (Ophelia), selected for self-understanding, become of considerable value – they set one’s “individual style of existence”. It is also assumed that Akhmatova’s comprehension of Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s paintings and the indirect testimonies to the dramatic life story of Rossetti and Elizabeth Siddal – his student, muse and wife – mediated by these works reconfigurated her Self, producing a model for interpretation of her own experience.
