A derelict barrow on a muddy road : Space of a house in the novel A Bee in the Rain

Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The study offers an interpretation of the novel A Bee in the Rain (1953) from the perspectivo of a house. The house of the declining Silvestre family becomes a battleground between a man and a woman and in the end also between social classes.

A barrow heavily making its way on a muddy road, in which the Silvestres are fighting for space, becomes a miniature of the house and a reflection of its fate.
