Fairy tales Fairy tales to read
The word "fairy tale" appears in written sources around the 16th century, but its meaning is far from the accepted one today. But initially a fairy tale is a list, list or description. The same thing that we used to call a fairy tale, our distant ancestors called "blasphemy". And only in the 11th century, after the baptism of Russia, the blasphemer lost both its mythological, sacred meaning, and the name itself (the current meaning of the word blasphemy is blasphemy, desecration of a shrine, a crime against religion, faith), receiving in return a new one - a fable, which lasted until the 19th century, changing in turn to the name of the fairy tale already known to us. Now there are many varieties of fairy tales - literary, folklore, everyday, about animals. But, probably, the most exciting, interesting, beloved ones are fairy tales. The very ones where the wolf can speak in a human voice, the firebird can be caught by hand, and the reward for fearlessness and firmness of spirit will be a wedding with a loved one, and often a kingdom in addition ...
Composition and plot of a fairy tale.
Unlike other types of fairy tales, fairy tales are based on a very clear composition and plot. And also, most often, a recognizable set of some universal “formulas”, by which it is easy to recognize and distinguish it. This is the standard beginning - “We once lived in a certain kingdom in a certain state ...”, or the finale “And I was there, drinking honey-beer ...”, and the standard question-answer formulas “where are you going?”, “You are torturing the case or you are whining from the case,” and others.
Compositionally, a fairy tale consists of exposition (the causes that gave rise to the problem, damage, for example, the violation of some prohibition). Beginning (detection of damage, shortage, loss), development of the plot (search for the lost). Then comes the culmination (battle with evil forces) and denouement (solution, overcoming the problem, usually accompanied by an increase in the status of the hero (accession)). In addition, in a fairy tale, characters are clearly divided into roles. This is a hero, a false hero, an antagonist, a giver, an assistant, a sender, a princess (or a father of a princess). It is not necessary that all of them be present, and each role is played by a separate character, but certain characters are clearly visible in every fairy tale.
The plot of a fairy tale is based on a story about overcoming a certain lack, loss, and in order to overcome the antagonist - the cause of the loss, the hero definitely needs wonderful helpers. But getting such an assistant is not easy - you need to pass the test, choose the right answer or the right path. Well, most often the wedding feast becomes the conclusion, the one at which “I was also drinking honey-beer ...”, and a reward in the form of a kingdom.
Fairy tale is a teacher. What is the lesson?
It is the fairy tale that most often turns to those who are looking for traces of ancient knowledge in ordinary children's fairy tales, carefully stored and passed from mouth to mouth by our distant ancestors. Those same “blasphemers”, teaching, educating, laying in the child the basis of those qualities that were considered necessary and correct. Both knowledge and these qualities were very different for future men and women, although, of course, there is a lot in common. And now, looking closely, it is easy to see that some fairy tales are intended more for girls, while others are for boys. Although these differences, as well as hints of knowledge, suffered somewhat over the centuries when blasphemers turned into fables, bringing to the fore not a mythological, sacred, but an entertaining and artistic component. But even in these tales that have come down to us, it is easy to find simple universal human values - that it is better to be kind than evil, generous - than greedy, hardworking - than lazy. That evil and deception are eventually punished, and kindness, courage and honesty are rewarded. Perhaps many of these values will be considered obsolete for our world. But how difficult and sad it is to live in a world of deceit and evil. And here fairy tales give us a guiding thread, a ray of light leading to the hope that this is not forever, the time of difficulties will pass, evil will be punished. Naive? May be. But maybe it is smart fairy tales that will help our children make this world a better and kinder place.
Fairy tale as a doctor.
Psychologists, who practice the direction of fairy tale therapy, which is now quite popular, are very fond of turning to a fairy tale. Why? It's very simple - it is fairy tales that have a wonderful set of clearly traced roles - it is easy to distinguish a positive hero from a negative one, bad from good, black from white. It is in a fairy tale that it is easy to find a hero "to your liking" - that is, similar to yourself. And then go with him along a long path of trials and return from it different - renewed, wiser. Often not only those who solved a certain problem, overcame a crisis, but even matured - after all, it is not for nothing that a number of scientists (in particular, V.Ya. Propp, one of the prominent Russian folklorists, French researcher P. Sentive) see in fairy tales a reminder of initiation rituals, rite of passage from childhood to adulthood. By the way, it is precisely the absence in our contemporary culture Some psychologists consider such a ritual to be the cause of crisis states and even suicidal impulses in adolescence, because initiation is nothing more than a transition to another, adult state through ritual “dying” in the original child status. And a fairy tale can also help to overcome such a crisis.
The Danish psychologist and psychiatrist Bruno Betelheim, who devoted a lot of attention to the fairy tale and its meaning for the child, considers the fairy tale to be the most suitable for the perception of the child, and it is the folk one ( folk tale). Why? Firstly, the simple language of this fairy tale is understandable to the child, the characters are few and maximally simplified (often they do not even have names). The plot of a fairy tale is as simple as possible, understandable, and not tied to time and space. This helps perception to go beyond the ordinary. In his research, Bruno Betelheim compares the fairy tale with myths and fables that are very similar to it. The conclusion is that neither the myth, which often carries a negative connotation (the death of characters), nor the fables, the morality of which is aimed more at adults, are suitable for children's perception, moreover, they can even suppress the child.
A fairy tale is a great teacher, healer of souls, just a kind and intelligent conversationalist. The meaning of the tale is different for different people and even for the same person at different periods of his life - from early childhood and to old age. It is like a priceless treasure, from which everyone will take only what he needs, what he is able to understand, assimilate, appreciate. But the lessons of fairy tales for children are most valuable and necessary.
Fairy tale reflects cultural heritage humanity, for centuries sifting out superficial, unimportant. She carefully keeps the grains of the truly valuable. The fairy tale contributes to the development of imagination, fantasy, and creative abilities of the child, it helps him to look at the world through the eyes of others - the eyes of the hero, teaching empathy, sympathy, empathy. The heroes of a fairy tale always have a clear moral orientation. There is no place for semitones here. Good or evil, good or bad. It is impossible to stay away. At the same time, the positive hero of a fairy tale is always in a more advantageous, interesting, attractive position, so more often the child identifies himself with him. Positive hero attracts the child to its side - the side of good, thereby instilling in the child a craving for good, for cultivating positive qualities in himself.
