The poetic fairy tale "The Snow Maiden" stands apart
among a number of other works
Ostrovsky. In other plays, Ostrovsky draws
gloomy pictures of the merchant environment, criticizes
harsh morals and shows all the tragedy of a lonely
soul forced to exist in conditions
"dark realm"

The work "Snow Maiden" is
an amazing story that
showing the beauty of the world
love, nature, youth.
The work is based on folk
fairy tales, songs, traditions and legends.
Ostrovsky only connected fairy tales,
legends and songs put together and imparted
folk art is very
kind of color. AT
"Snegurochka" the main place is occupied by
human relations. For the first
look, the plot looks perfect
fantastic. But then it turns out
what's in this fantasy
looking at living human
characters.

The action takes place in a fabulous place
- the kingdom of Berendey. Describing laws
this country, Ostrovsky seems to draw
his ideal of social order.
In the kingdom of Berendey, people live along
laws of conscience and honor, try not to
provoke the wrath of the gods. Here is a very large
value is given to beauty. Appreciated
beauty of the world, beauty
girls, flowers, songs.

King Berendey himself symbolizes folk wisdom. He lived in the world
a lot, so he knows a lot. The king worries about his people, he
it seems that something unkind appears in the hearts of people:
In the hearts of people I noticed I will cool
Considerable; fervor of love
I haven't seen Berendey for a long time.
The service to beauty has disappeared in them;
I do not see the eyes of youth,
Moistened with bewitching passion;
I don't see thoughtful maidens, deep
Sighing. On eyes with a veil
There is no sublime longing for love,
And see completely different passions:
Vanity, envy of other people's outfits
And so on.

What values ​​does Tsar Berendey think about?
He is not worried about money and power. He
takes care of their hearts and souls
subjects. Drawing the king just like that,
Ostrovsky wants to show the ideal
picture of a fairy tale society. Only in
fairy tale people can be so kind
noble and honest. And that's the intention
writer in the image of a fairy tale
ideal reality warms the soul
reader, makes you think about
beautiful and sublime.

Indeed, the fairy tale "Snow Maiden" is read with enthusiasm
any age. And after reading it, the thought arises
about the value of such human qualities as spiritual
beauty, fidelity and love. Ostrovsky in many of his
works speaks of love.
But in "The Snow Maiden" the conversation is carried on completely
in a special way. In the form of a fairy tale
the reader is presented with great truths about
the enduring value of love.

The ideal kingdom of the Berendeys lives so happily precisely because
that appreciates love. That's why the gods are so merciful to
Berendei. And it's worth breaking the law, offending a great feeling
love for something terrible to happen.
I've been living for a long time, and the old order
Quite well known to me. Berendey,
Beloved by the gods, lived honestly.
Without fear, we entrusted the daughter to the guy,
A wreath for us is a guarantee of their love
And faithful to death. And never
The wreath was not desecrated by treason,
And the girls did not know deceit,
They did not know resentment.

It is no coincidence that Mizgir's betrayal of Kupava was so painful
in everyone around. Everyone took the bad
guy's behavior as a personal insult:
... Everyone is offended,
Offense to all Berendeyka girls!

In the realm between people for a long time
a simple but wonderful relationship develops.
The deceived girl Kupava first of all refers to
protector king with a request to punish the culprit of her
grief. And having learned all the details from Kupava and
surrounding, the king issues his verdict: guilty
should be punished. What punishment does the king choose?
He orders to drive Mizgir out of sight. Exactly at
exile see berendey the worst punishment
for the wrong person.
There are no bloody laws in the kingdom. This could be
only in a fairy tale created by the imagination
writer. And this humanity makes the kingdom of the Berendeys
even more beautiful and pure.

The figure of the Snow Maiden is remarkable. She is completely
not like everyone around. Snow Maiden - fabulous
character. She is the daughter of Frost and Spring.
That is why the Snow Maiden is a very
contradictory. In her heart the cold is her legacy
father, severe and gloomy Frost. For a long time
The Snow Maiden lives in the wilderness of the forest, and her tower
diligently guarded by a stern father. But as it turned out
The Snow Maiden looks not only like her father, but also like
mother, beautiful and kind Spring. That's why
she was tired of living alone, locked up. She wants
to see the real human life, to know the whole
her beauty, take part in girlish amusements,
listen to the wonderful songs of the shepherd Lel. “Without songs
life is not fun."

In the way the Snow Maiden describes human life, one can see her
genuine admiration for human joys. Cold heart
fabulous girl does not yet know love and human feelings, but
nevertheless, she is already attracted, attracted by the bewitching world of people.
The girl realizes that she can no longer remain in the realm of ice and
snow. She wants to find happiness, and perhaps this, in her opinion, is only
in the kingdom of the Berendeys. She says to her mother:
..Mom, happiness
Whether I find it or not, I'll look for it.

Snow Maiden strikes people
with its beauty. family, in
which turned out to be
Snow Maiden wishes
take advantage of the beauty
girls for their
personal enrichment. They are
begging her to take
courtship of the rich
Berendey. They can not
appreciate
the girl who became
named daughter.

Snow Maiden seems
more beautiful, humbler and
softer than anything
surrounding girls. But
she doesn't know love, that's why
can't answer
hot human
the senses. There is no warmth in her soul
and she looks away
the passion that
tests Mizgir for her.
A being that doesn't know
love, pity and
astonishment. Not by chance
no one can understand
Snow Maiden: neither the tsar, nor any of the Berendeys.

The Snow Maiden attracts others so much precisely because of her coldness. She seems like a special girl
for which you can give everything in the world, and even yourself
life. At first, the girl is indifferent to everyone around.
Gradually, she begins to feel for the shepherd Lelya
some feelings. It's not love yet, but icy
it is already hard for the beauty to see the shepherd with Kupava:
...Kupava,
Razluchnitsa! This is your word;
She called me a lover,
You yourself are separating from Lel.

The shepherd Lel rejects the Snow Maiden, and she decides to beg
his mother's ardent love. The one that burns
the human heart, makes you forget about everything in the world:
Deceived, offended, killed by the Snow Maiden.
Oh mother, Spring-Red!
I run to you with a complaint and a request:
I ask for love, I want to love.
Give the Snow Maiden a girl's heart, mom!
Give me love or take my life!

Spring gives her daughter a feeling of love, but this
gift can be detrimental to
Snow Maiden. Spring is heavy
premonitions, because the Snow Maiden is her daughter.
Love is tragic for the heroine. But
without love, life loses all meaning.
The Snow Maiden cannot cope with desire
become the same as all the people around her.
Therefore, she decides to disregard the precepts of her
father, who warned her against fatal
consequences of human passion.

The Snow Maiden in love becomes amazing
touching. A whole world opens up for her.
completely unknown to her before. Now she
understands all those who experience love
languor. She answers Mizgir with consent
become his wife. But Mizgir is not capable
give up the intention to appear in front of everyone
Berendey with his bride, considering the fears
beauties whim.

The first bright rays of the sun kill the Snow Maiden.
But what about me? bliss or death?
What a delight! What feelings of languor!
Oh mother Spring, thank you for the joy,
For the sweet gift of love! What a bliss
Languishing flows in me! Oh Lel,
Your enchanting songs are in my ears,
Fire in the eyes... and in the heart... and in the blood
All over the fire. I love and melt, melt
From sweet feelings of love. Goodbye everyone
Girlfriends, farewell, groom! Oh honey
The last look of the Snow Maiden to you.

Mizgir cannot put up with his death
beloved, so rushes from high
the mountains. But the death of the Snow Maiden appears
Berendeyam something natural. Snow Maiden
was alien to the warmth of the soul, so she was
it is difficult to find your happiness among people.

Teacher's word.

In 1881, the opera "The Snow Maiden" by N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov was written to the text of the fairy tale by A.N. Ostrovsky. It is curious, but at first the play seemed “strange” to the composer. Upon re-reading, my opinion changed.

“In the winter of 1879-1880, I read The Snow Maiden,” wrote N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov, “and definitely saw her amazing beauty. I immediately wanted to write an opera on this plot, and as I thought about this intention, I felt more and more in love with the fairy tale by A.N. Ostrovsky.

Listen to this piece of music. “It seems that all the mighty elements of Russian nature sound in it, the spirits and forces of which are an integral part of life and the people themselves - the inhabitants of the Berendeev kingdom.”

(The introduction to the opera by N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov "The Snow Maiden" sounds).

Against the background of music, the teacher reads: “The beginning of spring. Red hill covered with snow. To the right, bushes and a sparse leafless birch forest; to the left, a solid dense forest of large pines and firs with branches sagging from the weight of the snow. In the depths, under the mountain, the river, polynyas and ice-holes are lined with spruce forests. Across the river is Berendeev Posad, the capital of Tsar Berendey: palaces, houses, huts, all wooden with intricate carvings; there are lights in the windows. The full moon silvers the entire open surface. Roosters are crowing in the distance. Leshy sits on a dry stump.

How do we imagine the heroes of A.N. Ostrovsky's play?

Student performances.

Discussion.

  1. Did our performance succeed?
  2. Which of the guys played the best? Why?
  3. If you were offered to play in the play again, what role would you choose?

So our meeting with the “Snegurochka of A.N. Ostrovsky” ended.

What attracts us in the "spring fairy tale"? Of course, the Snow Maiden is a naive child of nature, suffering from the desire to be closer to people.

"The Snow Maiden is the embodiment of fragile, transient beauty and sensitive grief, spring grief about imminent death."

The real and the fantastic are closely intertwined here: fairy-tale creatures communicate with real people. Berendeys perform their spring rituals, sing folk songs - “the very ones that may have once sounded on our land at the time of spring games, in distant pagan times.”

  1. Why does the fairy tale belong to the "eternal" themes of art?
  2. What does the tale of A.N. Ostrovsky make you think about? (Students' speeches)

Final lesson option

The final lesson can be held in the form of a literary court "The case of the Snow Maiden is being heard."

Assign roles ahead of time.

The prosecutor accuses the Berendeys of the death of the Snow Maiden.

The lawyer writes a defense speech.

The judge leads the hearing, calls witnesses.

Witnesses: Frost, Spring, Mizgir, Kupava, Lel, Yarilo.

Final word from the teacher.

Today in the literary court we heard the prosecution, the defense, the witnesses, the Snow Maiden. The time has come for all of us to give our assessment of what happened.

  1. What can you say about the Snow Maiden?
  2. Who is to blame for the death of the Snow Maiden?

Written work "What did the study of the play by A.N. Ostrovsky give me?"

History of creation
In 1873, A.N. Ostrovsky, influenced by the ideas of A.N.
Afanasiev, writes a play, so famous and beloved
Russian people - "Snegurochka". Working on a play
Ostrovsky carefully studied numerous
folklore, historical, ethnographic
sources. Among folklore sources
"Snow Maiden" should be noted folk tales,
ritual poetry, folk charms, folk
songs. He, combining fairy tales, legends and songs together,
gave folk art a very peculiar
coloring. Therefore, the plot basis of the story
Snow Maidens in the play by A.N. Ostrovsky is not entirely
coincides with none of the versions of the tale that exist in
folk environment. Plot

Plot
Work
Ostrovsky "Snow Maiden" -
this is an amazing tale
which shows beauty
environment, love,
nature, youth. AT
"Snegurochka" main place
occupy human
relations. For the first
look, the plot looks
absolutely fantastic.
But then it turns out that
this phantasmagoria
viewed live
human characters.

In the spring fairy tale by A. N. Ostrovsky "The Snow Maiden" from
little girl - granddaughter, the heroine turns into
a beautiful girl capable of igniting the hearts of young
Berendey with a hot feeling of love. She appears as a daughter
Santa Claus and Spring-Red, which dies during
summer ritual of honoring the sun god Yarila. Outwardly she
appears in the work as a beautiful pale
fair-haired girl, she is dressed in white and blue clothes with
fur trim (fur coat, fur hat, mittens). Whole
this image represents winter with its snow-whiteness and
cold frosts. The spring side of the character of the heroine
represented by her extraordinary emotionality and
the desire to know human feelings, although
detrimental to her. The action takes place in a fabulous place
- the kingdom of Berendey. Describing the laws of this country,
Ostrovsky seems to draw his ideal of social
devices. In the kingdom of Berendey, people live according to the laws
conscience and honor, try not to provoke the wrath of the gods.

Beauty is very important here. Appreciated
the beauty of the world, the beauty of girls, flowers,
songs. It is no coincidence that the singer of love Lel turns out to be so
popular. He seems to personify youth, ardor,
ardor.

Reviews Surprisingly, the original play did not
was successful with the public, she seemed rude and inept
written. But it was only at first... Spring
fairy tale A.N. Ostrovsky was highly appreciated by A.I. Goncharov
and I.S. Turgenev, but many of the responses of contemporaries
were strongly negative. The playwright was reproached for
departure from social problems and "progressive
ideals." So, the caustic critic V.P. Burenin
complained about the apparent gravity of A.N.
Ostrovsky to false, "ghostly meaningless" images of Snow Maidens, Lelei,
Mizgirey. In the great Russian playwright, criticism
wanted to see, first of all, the accuser of the "dark
kingdoms."

Theater performance
Theatrical production of "The Snow Maiden" by the Moscow Maly
theater (May 11, 1873) actually failed. In spite of
the fact that all three troupes were involved in the performance:
drama, opera and ballet, and wrote the music for it
P.I. himself Tchaikovsky, despite the use
technical curiosities: moving clouds, electrical
backlights, gushing fountains, hiding the disappearance
"melting" Snow Maiden in the hatch - the play was mostly scolded

The public, like criticism, was not ready for the poetic
pirouette of the author of "Thunderstorm" and "Deeps". Only at the beginning of the twentieth century
dramatic design by A.N. Ostrovsky was rated by
dignity. A.P. Lensky, who staged The Snow Maiden in
September 1900 in Moscow, he remarked: “Ostrovsky has an abundance
fantasy would be enough to fill my
a fairy tale to the brim with native devilry. But he apparently
deliberately saved fantastic elements, saved
in order not to obscure the enchantment of another, more
complex element - poetic.

Petersburg, on the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre,
the production took place only on December 27, 1900, at a benefit performance
artist Varlamov. In 1881, the composer N. A. Rimsky Korsakov wrote the opera The Snow Maiden based on the text of the play.
The opera was staged in St. Petersburg on January 29, 1882.
In Moscow, on the stage of a private opera house - October 8
1885. On the stage of the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, the production
took place on January 26, 1893.

In addition to declaring values, the fairy tale still claims to be teaching, however, unlike simply stated morality (as sometimes happens when angry adults scold children), the fairy tale narrative always provides a rationale for why this should or should not be done (that is, it contains a ban on any or the actions of the characters), and what these actions may ultimately lead to. Fairy tales are folk and literary.

    Rimsky-Korsakov. The Snow Maiden opera.

    Understanding the beauty of the play did not come to the composer immediately. The kingdom of the Berendeys seemed strange to him. “In the winter of 1879-1880, I again read The Snow Maiden and it was as if I saw her amazing beauty.” Rimsky-Korsakov wrote the opera in just two and a half months in the summer of 1880.
