Abstract

The article touches upon the ways S. Townsend chose for portraying one the key images in the history of both English and Russian literature – the image of immobility. This image helps the author to suggest the readers different methods of fighting with depression by putting the protagonists into the same physical and psychological conditions – they are both in their beds and are suffering from depression. But the differences lie in the sources of this de- structive emotion (either enforced by the outer impetuses or the fictional character him/herself), in the keeping/not keeping touch with the environs and, finally, in the desire/ non-desire to get back to normal, full of mobility life
