Repeatedly writing about wind, rain, thunder and electricity is to highlight the use of symbolism. "Sea" symbolizes the overwhelming power of the people at the height of the revolution, while "wind and rain" and "lightning" symbolize the counter-revolutionary forces and the dark social environment.
Introduction to the article:
Haiyan, also known as the Song of Haiyan, is a famous prose poem written by Gorky. Haiyan used to fly on the sea before the storm came. Therefore, in Russian, the word "Haiyan" means "the prophet of the storm".
This paper is divided into three parts according to the development and change of the sea scene, and describes the magnificent scene of Haiyan facing the stormy waves. In this article, the author describes the brave and joyful image of Haiyan when the storm comes, which profoundly reflects the rapidly developing revolutionary situation on the eve of the Russian revolution from 65438 to 0905.
Enthusiastically praised the brave fighting spirit of the pioneers of the Russian proletarian revolution, predicted that the dark rule of the tsar would collapse, and predicted that the proletarian revolution would come and win. Call on the broad masses of working people to take active actions to meet the great revolutionary struggle.
Extended data writing background:
Haiyan is the last chapter of Gorky's short story The Melody of Spring, which was written in March 190 1 year. As the industrial crisis that broke out in Europe in the19th century quickly spread to Russia, during the crisis years from 1900 to 1903, more than 3,000 large and small enterprises in Russia closed down and more than 65,438+10,000 workers were dismissed. Coupled with the growing darkness of the czar's rule, the people can't stand it, the resistance is rising day by day, and the revolutionary struggle is booming.
The Russian workers' movement began to turn from economic strike to political strike, to demonstration, to put forward political demands for democracy and freedom, and to put forward the political slogan of "overthrowing the czar's autocracy", which shook the czar's ruling foundation.
Gorky personified birds in Melody of Spring, and added official titles and titles to some of them to satirize the representatives of various classes in Russian society and attack the rule of the czar, which could not be published at that time. Gorky wanted to publish it in Moscow's Courier, but it was rejected by the censor.
Gorky immediately sent the novel to Life magazine in St. Petersburg, which was also rejected by the censor, but its ending "The Song of Haiyan" was published separately in Life magazine in April of that year. This is due to the "negligence" of the czar's censorship authorities.
Posey, editor-in-chief of Life magazine, once recalled: "Haiyan was published after being examined in advance by the censor Ye Lageng, but he didn't see anything revolutionary about it." The censorship authorities soon discovered the serious mistakes caused by "negligence" and ordered the closure of Life magazine.
Content introduction:
The whole article advances layer by layer in the content structure, echoing before and after, forming an organic unity. Based on the approaching storm, it can be divided into three scenes according to the development and change of sea conditions. Haiyan is also arranged to be portrayed in three scenes of the storm: future, approaching and imminent. Haiyan's character gradually became clear with the development of the plot, and Haiyan's image gradually improved with the approaching of the storm.
(From the beginning to Flying on a Bubble Sea): Writing about storm warning, Haiyan "flies proudly" and "longs" for the arrival of the storm with optimistic passion and victory confidence.
At the beginning, simply write down the precursors of the coming storm and point out the environment where Haiyan is located. Then, Haiyan was described from three aspects: shape, sound and color, and its vigorous, arrogant and fierce posture was outlined with the accurate metaphor of "black lightning". Flying proudly always writes about Haiyan's movements and arrogance, and endows Haiyan's movements with modality and charm through anthropomorphic writing.
Then from the aspect of "sound", the profound meaning of Haiyan's "crying" is positively expounded-"full of longing for the storm!" "Dark clouds hear joy", "Dark clouds hear the power of anger, the flame of enthusiasm and the confidence of victory", and the parallelism sentence renders Haiyan full of energy and high morale.
In this picture, in sharp contrast to Haiyan are other seabirds. The arrival of the storm made them panic. The "seagull" full of fear of the storm, the "sea duck" frightened by "thunder and lightning" and the "penguin" cowering under the cliff bank symbolize all kinds of wise revolutionaries who were afraid of revolution in the real environment at that time. The article captures their voices, movements and modality, describes their frightened ugliness, and sets off the extraordinary courage and powerful image of Haiyan.
