Annotation:
The article discusses the main features of static portrayal of positive character type called
―natural hero‖ in romantic long story and the patterns of his gesture style. The regularities are revealed by comparing characters in a romantic novel, which develops late-theme of human humiliation. This type of character is presented as a small person‖ by the gestures showing shyness and lack of confidence, by his trembling voice and silence when he is unable to speak. The visual characteristics of a hero indicates the reverie and the moment of his pleasantly "loss" in a state of extreme emotional turmoil. A natural hero‖ is impulsive and emotional; we can understand it through his gestures and tears. He is endowed with non-realized potential of the return action: his gaze with the meaning of possession, crossing arms and turning pale indicates aggression.
