A TYPOLOGY OF ARTISTIC REPRESENTATIONS OF PERSONALITY IN AMERICAN PROSE

This article explores the typology of artistic representations of personality in American prose. The study aims to identify and classify dominant literary models of personality as reflected in works by American authors of different periods. Based on a qualitative analysis of selected texts, the research focuses on character construction, narrative strategies, and cultural context. The findings reveal several recurring personality types—including the individualist, the rebel, the self-made individual, and the alienated subject—which reflect broader socio-cultural and ideological shifts in American society.
