The object of the study is the allegorical poem by W. Langland "Visions about Peter Pahar," dedicated to the axiological problem relevant to his era, considered by the author in an eschatological perspective. The subordination of the composition of the work to the author's concept, the use of a complex temporary organization of the work; the meaning of the allegorical images of the poem is revealed; the biblical discourse realized by the poet at different levels of the work is analyzed. The rationale for the depth and multidimensionality of the discussion of the poem is emphasized by the intellectual influence of university culture, where the topic of saving the human soul was hotly discussed. The system of moral values outlined by Langland in the poem is determined, the place in it of those virtues that will lead a person to righteousness.
