The Motive of the Cold in the Novel of M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin "Messrs Golovlevs"
The motive of the cold in the novel of M.E.Saltykov-Shchedrin «Messrs Golovlevs» enables the writer to create an image of the house-prison where the main characters die one after another in severe cold. The perception of the cold as the punishment for treachery is similar to the novel of Dante who places Satan and Judas in the belt of eternal ice.
