Abstract
<jats:p>A dramaturgical form is the orderliness of reproducible situations and words in art prose, which leads to dramatism, in individual cases – to drama, irrespective of the volume of the text and the accepted conditional lapse of time on the stage. The principle here is the depicted situation with the active presence of alleged persons in the grammatically present tense, from the first person (“I … do”), and in the movement perspective. The aesthetic criterion is staginess pushing the reader to the stage to accept the literary text there from the position of both the viewer and the performer. It was with this very feeling that young Hovhannes Tumanyan came to the dramaturgical form in three of his stories: “From the Time of Famine”, “The Honor of a Beggar”, “The Bet”.</jats:p>
