Abstract
The author of the article analyzes the motives of honor and dishonor in the late prose work of A.S. Pushkin Captains Daughter. Using the method of motivational analysis proposed by I. Silantyev, we examined the implementation of these motives from the point of view of 1) the subjective organization of the text; 2) the functions of the actor; 3) chronotope. In the process of research, we came to the conclusion that the paired motive of honor and dishonor is realized in the system of actors of the work through a complex predicative structure that reveals the actions of characters, their internal motivation and external embodiment.
