Abstract The article deals with the linguistic, stylistic and cultural problems in the process of literary translation. It also explains the close relationship between the language and culture, and the difficulties the translator faces in the translation process of dramatic works. It is stated that it is not enough for literary text translators to be bilingual, but they should be bicultural as well.
