VISION AND REPRESENTATIONS OF EMOTIONS IN THE VICTORIAN DISCOURSE

Summary/Abstract: The discourse of emotions makes use of visual images to describe the deep feelings of characters and their passions. In this paper we try to see how Victorian novels give structure to emotions and how they represent the mind. Facial syntax represents a well- known convention of the novel discourse. It works by translating the inner scenes into emotional and expressive language. The voice represents also a good means to add, to translate or to hide information to the readers about the characters discourse.
