THE THEME OF NATURE IN THE WORKS OF V. RASPUTIN: SYMBOLISM AND METAPHOR

Abstract

The article is dedicated to analyzing the role of nature in the works of V. Rasputin, with a focus on the symbolism and metaphor of natural images in his writings. It explores how natural elements become an important philosophical and aesthetic tool in the writer's works, symbolizing deep human experiences, moral dilemmas, and metaphysical concepts. Special attention is given to the interaction between humans and nature, which in Rasputin's works serves as an integral part of the spiritual and cultural context of his writings. The author analyzes various natural images — from rivers and forests to elements of natural phenomena — and reveals their metaphorical significance in the context of moral choices and the life trials of the characters.
