INTERPRETATION OF THE TITLE OF RICHARD ALDINGTON’S "DEATH OF A HERO"
The article deals with the title of the novel «Death of a Hero» by Richard Aldington, one of the most significant antiwar novels devoted to World War I. We judge by the hypothesis that the title incidentally is a key to understanding of the author’s intention. The analysis is carried out taking into account all the elements of the novel content: plot, topic, imagery, artistic devices and means, author’s thoughts and notes included in the text. A broad historical, literary and social context which lies outside Richard Aldington’s text is attracted.
