-Appreciate the artistic skills of Haiyan.
This is a prose poem, which combines the descriptive characteristics of prose with the expressive characteristics of poetry. It depicts the heroic fighting spirit of Haiyan, a brave man, profoundly reflects the revolutionary situation that developed rapidly before the Russian revolution 1905, praises the immortal image and strong and fearless fighting spirit of the Russian proletarian revolutionary pioneers, and calls on the broad masses of working people to take active actions to meet the great revolutionary struggle. Let's learn how the full text uses various artistic techniques to express the theme of the article.
First, the use of symbols, meaning in things.
First of all, let's clarify the concept of symbol. Symbol is an artistic technique to express similar or similar concepts, thoughts and feelings through concrete images that are easy to associate, that is, to express some abstract meaning with concrete images. As far as this article is concerned, in a specific historical period, although the Russian revolutionary movement is constantly rising, the reactionary rule of the tsar is still relatively strong and the people's speech is still not free, so the author struggles with the ruling class in this way.
Everything in the text has symbolic meaning, which is only contained in the image and not revealed. Haiyan symbolizes a strong, fearless, brave and fighting proletarian revolutionary pioneer; The sea and waves symbolize the strength of the broad masses of the people at the height of the revolution; The storm symbolizes the revolutionary wave storm that swept through all reactionary and decadent forces; The sun symbolizes a bright future; Strong winds, dark clouds and thunder and lightning symbolize the ugliness and weakness of the reactionary forces of the tsar; Seagulls, sea ducks and penguins symbolize all kinds of pseudo-revolutionaries and non-revolutionaries who are afraid that the revolution will destroy their comfort zones. At the same time, these symbolic meanings gradually deepen with the development of the image. Among them, the image of Haiyan is more and more complete, and it is more and more prominent with the development of the plot; Dark clouds and strong winds are the last desperate struggle. In this way, the work dynamically presents the development trend of the situation in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century, and the scene of the sea extinguishing lightning strongly indicates the final outcome of the reactionary forces.
-That's extinction. The ideological connotation that the author wants to express is thus revealed.
Second, contrast, strong image
In order to show Haiyan's heroic fighting attitude and longing for the storm, this paper describes in detail three sea scenes before the storm, when the storm approaches and when the storm comes, and writes out the harsh fighting environment at that time, which sets off Haiyan's heroic image. The image of Haiyan is in sharp contrast with the groaning, flying and fear of seagulls, sea ducks and penguins, which sets off Haiyan's courage and optimism. In addition, wind, clouds, thunder and electricity jointly attacked Haiyan and sounded the horn of the battle, which was heroic, passionate and inspiring.
Third, the language is beautiful and the momentum is enhanced.
Prose poetry has its own uniqueness, because it has the characteristics of both prose and poetry. The sentence does not rhyme, but it is concise, vivid and beautiful. This paper describes the voice of Haiyan-from "shouting" to "laughing"; Form-"black lightning"; A series of actions, such as "flying", "wearing" and "sweeping", depict Haiyan's quickness and agility, as well as her agility and bravery in "rushing straight into the dark clouds". The use of various rhetorical devices, such as metaphor exaggeration, enhances the expression effect and makes the image more vivid. The language of the poem is full of passion and inspiring, especially the ending "Let the storm come more violently" is not only the expectation and call for the revolutionary storm, but also the call for the broad masses of the people to fight.
The situation at that time determined that it was difficult to publish such articles full of fighting passion in newspapers and periodicals. It was the symbolism used throughout the article and the negligence of the censors at that time that made the article Haiyan finally published in the April issue 190 1 of Life magazine in Petersburg, and it was also for this reason that Life magazine was closed down.
The melody of spring, the declaration of revolution
-Haiyan appreciation
Gorky's Haiyan is a pioneering work of proletarian literature. It is like the melody of spring, the overture of the times and the declaration of revolution. Gorky vividly depicts the objective scene of the coming storm of nature with high-spirited romantic passion and magnificent artistic brushwork in his works, and profoundly reflects the situation of 1905 that "rain is coming" on the eve of the Russian revolution, implying that the revolutionary storm is coming, the czar's autocratic rule will inevitably collapse and the revolutionary cause will inevitably win. The work gives the most sincere and enthusiastic praise to Haiyan, the vanguard of the proletariat who is not afraid of violence, dares to struggle and dares to win.
