Description
Most studies to date concentrate on Stendhals color symbolism to convey a specific meaning in Le Rouge et le Noir . This study shows that a distinctive pattern of color symbolism in Stendhals works is apparent, and that it serves as a fil conducteur in unifying the characters and the events in Stendhals fiction. The analysis starts with Stendhals nonfiction writings because his journals and correspondence reveal his sensitivity to colors and because his autobiography serves as a touchstone to the elaboration of his color symbolism. The examination of Stendhals fiction shows a sequential color clustering starting with an emphasis on black and white and then moving on to Armance , which is Stendhals first attempt at deploying his complete color palette. The analysis of these works by Stendhal further demonstrates that blue and green, when paired, represent the ideal in Stendhals distinctive color palette.
