The Evolution of the Image of Andrew Harlan as a Means of Revealing the Issues of Isaac Asimov's Novel "the End of Eternity"
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The article examines the evolution of Andrew Harlan as one of the principal artistic mechanisms through which the socio-philosophical issues of Isaac Asimov’s novel The End of Eternity are explored. It traces the protagonist’s development from his initial acceptance of the principles of Eternity to his questioning of the legitimacy of controlling history and his eventual independent moral choice. The study establishes that the transformation of the protagonist’s character is revealed through internal conflict, retrospection, a system of contrasts, the romantic plotline, and the narrative situation of choice.
