Description | The paper deals with the short story The Red Flower by V. M. GARSHIN. The depiction of the inner world of the hero is supposed to be a typical attempt of art to try to understand the processes that are going on in the inner world of a human being. The conscious and the unconscious are mixed simultaneously in the mental processes of the hero´s mind on symbolic basis which corresponds with the psychoanalytic theory that appeared only some decades thereafter. The unlikely complex mental processes led the author to the conviction to choose a mentally disordered person as the hero of the short story. |
