Resumo
The article analyzes Virginia Woolf’s short story Lappin and Lapinova through the lens of fairy-tale elements. A close reading demonstrates the particular significance of fairy-tale forms and traditions for the story’s plot and composition. The presence of these elements produces what may be described as a “double plot,” in which the domains of fairy tale and reality intersect. Such an approach broadens the interpretative possibilities of Woolf’s text, offering a fresh perspective on its meaning. In addition, the article identifies a significant inaccuracy in the only existing Russian translation of the story and proposes an alternative rendering of the title and the protagonists’ names.
