The Experience of the Steppe as an Initiative Process in Chekhov`S Novella "The Steppe"

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the journey towards adulthood of the nine years old boy Egorushka in Chekhov’s novella The Steppe. The boy leaves his village to go to town, where he is to attend middle school. Along the way, Egorushka will grow spiritually, will evolve and surmount various obstacles. Both the people surrounding him and the symbols scattered around the narrative (a hawk, the birds, the sky etc.) play an essential role in his evolution. Thus, Egorushka’s journey can be interpreted as a change of status, a sort of initiation.
