Kotik Letaev

Style and Technique

In "Kotik Letaev," Andrei Bely creates a unique literary fabric, rich in symbolism and musicality of language. The style of the work is characterized by a complex syntactic structure, where sentences sometimes resemble musical phrases, intertwining and resonating with each other. Bely's language is replete with metaphors and allegories, creating multilayered images that immerse the reader in the world of childhood memories and fantasies. Literary techniques such as stream of consciousness and associative sequences allow the author to convey the hero's inner world, his experiences and sensations. The structure of the story is fragmentary, reflecting the chaos and spontaneity of a child's perception of the world, creating an effect of immersion in the character's subjective reality. Bely masterfully uses rhythm and sound organization of the text, which gives the narrative a special melodiousness and depth.
