METHOD OF SYNTHESIS OF THE CHARACTER OF THE MAIN HERO IN THE IRON GATE OF ANDREAS FRANGIAS

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we dealt with the way of constructing the character of the main character of the novel Iron Gate by the Greek post-war writer Andreas Frangias. The characteristic of his novels is the absence of clearly separated main characters, but in the novel Iron Gate, the Angelos link can be considered the main one from the aspect of the influence it has on the other characters of the novel. The aim of the paper is to analyze the procedure used by the writer to build the character of Angelos. The theoretical framework for the analysis is represented by Shlomit Rimon-Kenan's model, which includes direct definition and different ways of indirect representation in the construction of literary characters. Character indicators represented in indirect representation contribute to the synthesis of the character both by their presence in the text, but also by their absence from the text. The analysis showed that indirect representation through action and speech is dominant, but the use of description of external appearance, environment, as well as direct definition is also represented. The conclusion is that the author uses all character indicators from the Rimon-Kenan model to build the main character.
