Interpretation of literary

COMPOSITION OF THE TEXT

Composition of a literary work is a system of arranging its constituing parts used by the author. Composition depends on the plot. The basic elements of the plot construction are:
1) exposition (it is some information that preceded the depicted events); 2) the initial collision (it represents an event that starts action);

3. 
   the development of the plot (it shows actions in their development);
   
4. 
   culmination (it is the highest point of action); 5) denouement (it is the event that brings the action to the end); 6) end; 7) epilogue. SEGMENTATION OF THE TEXT
   

The category of segmentation implies the division of the literary work into parts. Thus, a novel is segmented into the following parts: a volume, a part, a chapter, paragraphs, syntactical wholes. This kind of segmentation is called volume-pragmatic, because it divides larger parts (volumes) into smaller ones for the convenience of the reader.
The second kind of segmentation is called context-variative. It classifies the manner of communicating information and according to it we distinguish: narration, description, the author's meditations (digression), dialogue, monologue, represented speech, stream of consciousness. Variation in the shape of prose gives a mental respite to the reader.

POETIC DETAIL

Poetic details serve for more profound characterization of events and personages. We distinguish the following kinds of details.

1. 
   Depicting details, which create the visual image of nature and appearance.
   
2. 
   Authenticity details, which bring the reader to believe in real existence of things and events described in imaginative literature. They denote the names of countries, towns, streets, hotels and so on.
   
3. 
   Characterological details, which reveal the personage's psycho- logical qualities, individual traits and habits. They underline the most essential features. E.g. Fabian always left very big tips for waiters.
   
4. 
   The details of implicitness, which suggest additional deep-lying meaning and create undercurrent information. E.G. "It pleased her to be seen in the dress circle even with Andrew". (Ara-kin. p. V. Lesson 4. "One stair up") the word "even" suggests the thought that Rose considered Andrew an inferior person but for want of a better partner went to the cinema in his company.
