      ab: The paper deals with the fractal structure issues of a literary text. The property of self-similarity, or scaling, is one of the central features of fractal structures. Besides, fractals are also characterized by irregularity, fractal dimension, scalar relativity and formal consistency. All the basic properties of a fractal are manifested in the language, which allows us to consider the language as a fractal structure. In this paper, the fractal form of Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s novel Tender Is the Night is analyzed. The authors make an attempt to prove that this literary work is compositionally a kind of a fractal, both at the level of the plot development and lexical organization. The fractal form of the novel resembles a heterogeneous and discontinuous structure, which contains a dominant idea capable of developing and adopting any configuration. This idea is represented by the main characters of the novel and by linguistic means representing the concept of “money”. Semantic elements adjacent to the dominant idea of the fractal organization are expressed by verbs and nominal phrases which form a self-similar structure of the whole novel.
