PORTRAIT AND IMAGE OF THE HEROINE IN RUSSIAN PROSE

It is well known that the description of external, pictorial phenomena of life is an important component of a literary and artistic work: portraits of characters, landscapes, the interior where events unfold - all together lead the reader to an understanding of how the writer solves social, moral, aesthetic, spiritual, philosophical problems of his time by figurative means. Some cultural eras and literary trends make one or another component of the descriptive "complex" more preferable for depiction, for example, a portrait, its various forms and types, others build a work on the dynamics of the landscape, on its special role, allowing us to judge both the people depicted, and the nature of the problems, and the ways of their resolution.
