THE RED COLOR OF THE IMAGE OF EGORUSHKA IN “GRASSLAND” AND THE RED COLOR OF LANDSCAPE

Abstract

This article discusses the interpretation of the red color of the image of Egorushka in Chekhov’s novel “Grassland” and the red color of the landscape. The object of the research is the concept of red color represented by Egorushka in Chekhov’s novel. Our study adopts the observation method, and uses the methods of explanation, comparison and synthesis to describe. There are some works about color design in the novel. However, the specific analysis of red color in the image of Egorushka and the red color of the landscape he feels has not received enough attention. This determines the scientific innovation of the article. Our work also brings forth new ideas about the affiliations between the artistic creation of Chekhov and Lu Xun by means of the interpretation of red color. The paper confirms the originality of the application of the red color description in Chekhov’s novel. Moreover, this approves the vital role of color description in the representation of the scenery and characters.
