Abstract
The article discusses some theoretical aspects of emotive meaning in the process of interpretation of the literary text. Emotive analysis is part of the basic structural analysis of the work and aims at functionally assisting, directing and clarifying its additional nuances and meanings. Finding the key to emotive codes and their dynamic interaction with other literary codes in the discussed work is a pre-requisite for the completion of the in-depth analysis of the text. The members of the „Misal” circle were particularly attentive to the ways in which emotion played an important role in the accomplishment of literary works. The study explores how the emotional tonality and the emotive code of „soft melancholy” play a key role in two works by the circle members – Dream of Happiness by Pencho Slaveykov and Idyllic Romances by Petko Todorov. The emotive code offers a new perspective of interpretation, exposing the inner tension within the form/content dichotomy of the text, in effect decoding its psychological meaning.
