The aim of this article is to demonstrate how Walter Benjamin deals with the concept of allegory as applied to the 18th century as well as to its modern substitute - the fetichism of merchancy. If Hamlet is the emblematicrepresentative of melancholy, Baudelaire does the same for the mal-du-siecle. In order to understand historic time, Benjamin proposes to interpret it in the core of the cultural process of mourning, in its extreme form of expression: the ruins. History and Nature, or Hazard and Necessity become nature morte and mourning silence of men in history: necessitarism excludes contingency (in nature) and fortune (in history). In place of the mechanized time of watches, Benjamin puts a form of time experience which expresses itself through deja vu, a temporality that hesitates between the already happened and what is due to happen. One may understand history at the same time as a landscape of rememberings and the experience of a threshold
