Interpretarea semanticii cromatice în prezentarea vestimentaţiei personajelor câtorva romane realiste franceze din secolul al XIX-lea [Articol]

Abstract

In French realist novels, chromatic elements use concerning characters clothing are particularly numerous. This is natural, if we take into account the fact that clothing is a part of world material arsenal, and realist authors focus their works precisely on its exhaustive elucidation. In the mentioned novels, we attest conclusive evidence regarding uniforms/equipment of various professional categories, as well as of different cults representatives, these having not only a literary-artistic value, but also a historical one. Clothing represents, in addition to its aesthetic and technological importance, a way of communication between people and nations. It is a special language, in which material and spiritual aspects coexist harmoniously, complementing each other.
