Abstract. Research of typology women’s characters in Paul Heyse’s artistic world is the aim of the present article. The subject of this research is women’s characters dominating in German writer’s novelettes. Based on analysis of Heyse’s novelettes the author of the article distinguishes types of women’s characters with opposite temperament and mentality: natural and passionate Italians and emotional reserved Germans, which always follow norms of social moral. It is found out, that many women’s characters of «Italian» novelettes have their real prototypes and they were created under the impression of Heyse’s traveling to Italy. Main motives embodied in women’s characters are described in the article, namely, they are motives of love, family and marriage. The author also proves evolution of social affiliation of writer’s characters from commoners in early novelettes to aristocrats in late novelettes. This evolution shows that Paul Heyse’s artistic world has changed also. The researcher pays special attention to peculiarity of women’s characters. This peculiarity consists in stereotype of their portrait characteristic, in their internal independence and in desire for harmony with yourself and the outer world. The researcher comes to the conclusion, that there is a sharp contrast between women’s and men’s characters, which consists in class dissonance: she often belongs to the lower segments of society, but he is an educated and a well-to-do aristocrat. This fact proves the writer’s desire to unite the opposite principles and to get away from social disharmony.
