Annotation: In his work on the image of Don Juan, Pushkin comes into contact with the age-old tradition of artistic interpretation of the “eternal plot”. The sources that in one way or another influenced the poet’s idea are quite well studied, however, the origin of a number of images in Pushkin’s play, including the image of “poor Ineza”, remains not entirely clear. The article substantiates the hypothesis that one fragment of S. Richardson’s novel “Clarissa, or the Story of a Young Lady”, which has not yet attracted special attention of researchers, was directly related to the genesis of the image of the main character and was reflected in the first scene of the tragedy “The Stone Guest”.
Keywords: A.S. Pushkin, “The Stone Guest”, play, novel, S. Richardson, the image of Lovelace, the eternal plot.
