In the novel The Gift,V.V.Nabokov created a symmetrical character structure of two pairs of father and son.Through the mirror-image plot of"the father loses his son"and"the son loses his father",the author contrasts the different choices of Alexander Yakovlevich Chernyshevski and Fyodor Godunov-Cherdyntsev when they face"the death of their loved ones".The author compares Alexander Yakovlevich Chernyshevski and Fyodor Godunov-Cherdyntsev in their different choices and thoughts when facing this tragic.The former's tragedy is rooted in the unrestricted confusion between fantasy and reality,and overlooked the beauty of the objective world;while the latter was able to overcome the psychological pain of his father's death because he made up for the lack of reality with art.Through this,Nabokov criticizes the mystical tendency of Symbolism,and at the same time expresses the ethical significance of art in the life of"This shore".The mirror structure contrasts the father-son relationship of the Fyodor Godunov-Cherdyntsev with that of Nabokov himself,who,like protagonist in the mirror,reconciles himself to the tragic loss of his father in the course of his artistic.
