The article presents the Translation Studies analysis of William Shakespeare’s tragedy “King Lear” and its fi ve Ukrainian translations done by Panteleimon Kulish, Panas Myrnyi, Maksym Rylskyi, Vasyl Barka and Oleksandr Hriaznov. The attempt has been made to outline the Biblical archetypes in the source text and to trace the level of their reproduction in the Ukrainian target texts. On the basis of the research conducted, it has been assumed that by means of various allusions and themes parallel to the Biblical ones, the reader of the tragedy encounters the Biblical archetypes of the Christ, Job, Devil, Cain and Abel. The author of the article also scrutinizes how these archetypes are actualized in the text in question through various verbal images and examines the level of their reproduction in the target texts. Key words: Shakespeare, “King Lear”, translation, biblical archetypes, Bible, allusion.
