Abstract

The rural landscape in the stories mentioned here is not idyllic, because even the descriptions of spring that fill with positive emotions show the temporary nature, because the inhabitants have time to contemplate the landscape only because of the church holiday. It seems interesting that in this affirmation of the world of nature, the characters see numerous parallels between humans and other species inhabiting the globe. This is, of course, a clear allusion to the works of Charles Darwin, in particular On the Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals (1872), in which the English researcher proved that we are really not much different from other creatures. The theory of evolution has revised the notion of nature into which man has been drawn, becoming part of a global spectacle in which some beings perish and then others take their place.
