Short analysis of the poem “The little hare” by Alexander Blok
The poem revolves around the adorable and endearing character of a “little hare”. Through the perspective of the narrator, the focus is primarily on delving into the emotions and thoughts of this charming protagonist.
In the warm summer that had passed, the little hare enjoyed a contented life. Through a single detail, the author conveys the little hare’s former comfort – the sight of the little hare being “amused by white flowers.” However, as autumn arrived, the conditions of the little hare’s existence changed. The predominant feature of the landscape sketch now is dampness, which sets the tone for the present moment. This “wet” effect is achieved by utilizing vocabulary with corresponding meanings such as “damp,” “cried,” “rainy,” “wet,” “drier,” and even “to walk on water.” The author emphasizes the unpleasant tactile sensations that arise from coming into contact with a wet surface. Additionally, the theme of autumn is further associated with the motifs of cold weather and scarcity of food.
