About the fairy tale

Russian folk tale "The Fox and the Goat"

The Russian folk tale "The Fox and the Goat" is another example of a story about a ginger cheat. For those who are accustomed to the fact that the cunning fox in the finale of the fairy tale plot most often suffers from his excessive cunning, this story will seem unusual. Contrary to what is accepted in the fairy tale "good triumphs over evil", the fox is not punished here for his meanness and lies: she manages to get out of difficult situation and defeat another character in the fairy tale. Before trying to understand the reason for this injustice, it is necessary to briefly describe the plot of the tale. So the main thing actor- fox, she fell into the well, staring at the crows. Fortunately for her, the well was half dry, almost without water, so the fox did not drown, but still could not get out of it. Fortunately, a goat passed by the well - another character in the fairy tale, curiosity made him look into the well. The fox, without thinking twice, began to praise how good and pleasant it was there. The poor goat, who was already thirsty, believed the cunning fox and jumped into the well. The cheat, on the other hand, perched on his back, climbed onto his horns from his back, and so scrambled out. The goat in the well nearly died of hunger, but was saved by good people.

The development of events in a fairy tale, although it seems at first glance to be unfair, does an excellent job with its ideological task. The fox in the fairy tale wins, but not so that evil triumphs. The purpose of the tale is completely different - to show that stupidity and excessive curiosity can lead the hero into trouble. The goat jumped into the well, completely without thinking about the consequences, this is the subject of ridicule and censure in this story. Another semantic accent of this instructive story is the statement that physical strength is not always a guarantee of success, intelligence and caution are necessary for the successful existence of the hero.

It is curious that the narrator seems to be deliberately teasing the goat, calling him an intelligent head. This is a kind of mockery of the character, a common technique in Russian folklore.

It should be noted that the speech structure of the fairy tale "The Fox and the Goat" deserves special attention. The text contains the author's description of one of the main characters; to characterize it, the forms of words with a magnifying meaning ("beard", "face") are used, which makes the image of a goat, on the one hand, more formidable and dangerous. But at the same time, such a characteristic contradicts the rest of the behavior of the goat and his speech. As far as the fox is concerned, the choice of speech means that it uses differs distinctly depending on the situation. When she tries to lure a goat into a trap, her speech is gentle and replete with diminutive nouns ("darling", "voditsa"). But as soon as she manages to achieve the goal, the selection of words changes dramatically, in the speech appears rude vocabulary (for example, "fool"). Thus, the speech of the heroes of the tale creates an additional field for the reader to understand the essence of each image and the tale as a whole.
