THE IMAGINARY OF THE TRANSYLVANIAN VILLAGE IN THE NOVEL "ION" BY L. REBREANU. THE VALUES OF THE VILLAGE

Summary/Abstract: The imaginary is constructed from images of space, time, and human structures, such as characters. Their convergence creates the textual fabric and offers the reader an image of the world represented in a work. Understanding the connections between the "faces of time" from the days on which important or conflict-generating events take place, to death, as the "face of time," explains, through the prism of religious and mythological symbolism, meanings and signs. Topoi with symbolic names, moments of the day lived intensely, moments from the lives of villagers that explore their experiences, causing them to feel the pulse of life at unusual dimensions. The village is enclosed within its geographical spaces, many with premonitory names, and the character, like the universe in which they live, is conditioned to identify extreme solutions to survive. Some succeed, others - do not. Where death lurks, it is also announced through signs and symbols. However, the village is traditional, with its beliefs and heresies, the priest Belciug having the role of a spiritual guide whose purpose is to preserve and strengthen the faith and moral values of the villagers.
