The concept of authorial consciousness and its forms of expression in autobiographical works

This article scientifically and systematically examines the entry of autobiographical authors, and creative individuals in general, into the world of artistic creation. It explores the connections in consciousness between the work's protagonist, narrator, and author, as well as the boundaries between author and narrator, and author and character, which create a unique creative space within the text. The study argues that the narrator's image does not fully correspond to the author, but rather performs important functions while maintaining a certain distance. Based on scholarly perspectives, it is substantiated that the narrator becomes a unique mask for the author, helping to alleviate the burden of responsibility, and can reflect the author's will, which does not exist within the artistic world of the work itself.
