ტროპი ქართველ და ინგლისელ რომანტიკოსთა ლექსებში

A trope can be an important charactertistic feature of a poem. Tropes can reflect changes happening in the time, national characteristics and aesthetics of a literary movement. They can convey not only a poet’s mood, but also part of his Weltanschauung. The aim of the article is to show essential chracteristics of verbal structures of Romantic poetry and explore similarities and differences between tropes applied by Georgian and English Romantic poets.The study of tropes is carried out mainly through Maia and Giorgi Natadze’s theory of imagery. Tropes in poems by English and Georgian poets are analyzed and it is concluded that metaphors of the Georgian and English Romantic poets reflect aesthetics of the movement. Tropes differ in terms of “compactness,” which is the result of national characteristics.
