I have already finished my Final Project in Stylistics) I wouldn't say it was that easy, because it was not. But it worth the little "struggle" with the story, dictionary, your own mind, fantasy and the skill to read between lines. Now, whatever book I will read, I know, that simply readings is not all. But I can do more. I actually can see more, can notice much more than those whose don't acquainted with the essense of Stylistics. I'm glad we had it in our university curriculum. Because learning Stylistics the text became for me more valuable, and it brings more aesthetic pleasure to take the book into my hands.
As for my Final Project, I adore all the works of E. A. Poe. That's why I've chosen one of his horror stories for the stylistic analysis. I do not suggest I've done the perfect stylistic analysis of the "The Fall of the House of Usher". But I tried to penetrate to the inside of it. To the characters' feelings and emotions, to the darkness. And I swear, there were moments while reading the story for the next time and putting it into fragments I had the goose skin on my arms and another time I saw curtains moving in my room. Brrrr...
Edgar Poe is the author to whom EVERY word, coma, element's presence or its absence is relevant and significant. Everything is counted. I hope I've noticed at least the least hiden of them.
P. S. And thank you, Victoria Victorivna for knowledge of Stylistics!
