Abstract:
The aim of the research is to identify the elements of the psycholinguistic image of the main antagonist Hela in the superhero film Thor: Ragnarok based on the Marvel Comics and directed by Taika Waititi (2017). The task consists of two stages, at the first of which I identify the psychological characteristics of the character to determine to which of the archetypes Hela belongs. As the basis, I take the classification of film archetypes by V. Schmidt. At the second stage, I distinguish the speech peculiarities of the character that reflect her psychological image.
