Abstract.
In the article the use of the main "Gothic" motifs in the prose of the British novelist Iris Murdoch (1919-1999) is considered. Such motifs as a motif of reticence and confinement, escape and pursuit, a motif of the altered mental state (dreams, apparitions, insanity), and a motif of secret are among them. The analysis of the novels "The Unicorn", "The Flight from the Enchanter", "A Word Child" and "The Sea, the Sea" reveals a new philosophical, ethic and psychological perception of the traditional motifs of "Gothic" prose.
