SECONDARY CHARACTERS IN A STORY BY GEORGIAN WRITER - GURAM DOCHANASHVILI

In the literary work, next to the main characters there are also literary characters   who have a secondary role. However, their role is not often highlighted while analyzing the work. Our goal is to put the shaded characters on the front line and thus demonstrate their great role in the story. In the story of Georgian writer Guram Dochanashvili "A Lad from Tavparavani", there are several secondary characters next to the main ones: Grandpa Giorga, a mother of the lad from Tavparavani, Tebrone and Lame Ephemia. Grandpa Giorga is distinguished in portraying the personality of the main character. If he was not there, the lad would never hear about the woman sitting in a tower across the sea. "A Lad from Tavparavani" has been repeatedly studied by various researchers (N. Gogiashvili, I. Maisuradze, K. Barbakadze, etc.), but the role and place of secondary characters of the work have not been analyzed yet. We think our work is a novelty in this direction.
