Analysis of a fairy tale.
How can you explain the title of the fairy tale? How many stories does a fairy tale consist of?
(The fairy tale is called “The Snow Queen” because the main event on which the plot is based is the kidnapping of Kai by the Snow Queen. The fairy tale consists of seven stories.)
Who are the main characters of the fairy tale? What was interesting about their life?
(The main characters of the fairy tale are the girl Gerda and the boy Kai. They lived in neighboring houses and loved each other like brother and sister. They visited each other on the roof and loved to play on the bench under the roses that grew in boxes on the gutters. )
Read the words that begin the story. Is this beginning similar to the beginning of Russian folk tales?
(The fairy tale begins with the words: “Well, let’s begin! When we reach the end of our story, we will know more than now.” This beginning is not similar to the beginning of Russian folk tales.)
Retell the first story, “which talks about the mirror and its fragments.”
Tell us about the lives of Kai and Gerda. Retell close to the text the episode of the first appearance of the Snow Queen.
How did the fragment get into Kai's heart?
How did Gerda's journey begin? What can you tell us about the flower garden of a woman who can do magic? Why did Gerda forget about everything and how did she manage to remember Kai? How did she meet the prince and princess? How did they help Gerda?
The little robber is a negative character. Why does the author portray the Little Robber in such a way that we treat her with love?
(The life of the Little Robber was not fun, without affection and kindness. The Robber was spoiled, self-willed. She kept animals and birds in cages, tortured them. Her mother either robbed her, or drank from her bottle and then snored. But still, the Little Robber The robber had a kind heart, she also wanted love and warmth, and she released Gerda and the deer to Lapland.)
Which Russian fairy tale characters do the Laplander and the Finnish remind us of?
(The Laplander and Finnish woman from Andersen’s fairy tale remind us that in the Russian fairy tale Baba Yaga and her sisters helped Maryushka find her Finist, the Clear Falcon.)
Which of the heroes of Andersen's fairy tale can we call Gerda's magical assistants? How did the Finnish woman say it?
(Gerda is helped by flowers, a raven and a crow, a Little robber, wood pigeons and a reindeer. The Finn said this to the reindeer: “I can’t make her stronger than she is. Don’t you see how great her strength is? Don’t you see, that both people and animals serve her? After all, she walked around half the world barefoot! But she should not learn from us about her strength, that she lives in her heart; her strength is that she is an innocent, sweet child."
What helped Gerda and Kai in the halls of the Snow Queen? Who did they meet on the way back?
(Gerda in the palace of the Snow Queen was helped by faith in God, prayer, fidelity to her love, courage, fidelity. Her hot tears melted Kai’s icy heart, he came to life and remembered Gerda. Kai was helped by the pieces of ice: they danced and then formed the word “eternity” .
On the way back, Gerda and Kai were helped by a deer, a Laplander and a Finnish woman. They met a little robber and from her they learned what happened to the prince, princess, raven and crow.)
How do you understand the ending of the fairy tale?
(Andersen tells the reader in his fairy tale that if a person wants to achieve something, if this person is kind and warm-hearted, then both nature and people will help him, the person will definitely achieve his goal.
By the ending, the author wants to say that evil will exhaust its strength just as winter ends. Spring will come, the person will return to his home, but his spiritual experience will become richer. A person will grow up, and it is good if an adult remains as pure in heart and soul as a child.
Gerda's adventures are a figment of the author's imagination. In Gerda’s actions we see “examples of perseverance, strong will and tender heart” (S. Ya. Marshak). The girl goes to look for her named brother Kai. She overcomes all difficulties: she finds a way out of the old woman’s enchanted garden, walks on the ground without shoes in the autumn cold, and with the help of a raven enters the palace. Then she managed to soften the heart of the Little Robber, get to Lapland, with the help of prayer, overcome the guards of the ice palace and warm Kai’s heart, melt his ice.)

Grading.
What happened to Gerda when Kai didn’t return? Where did he go? No one knew this, no one could say anything about him. The boys only said that they saw him tie his sled to a large, magnificent sleigh, which then turned into an alley and drove out of the city gates. Nobody knew where he went. Many tears were shed for him; Gerda cried bitterly and for a long time. Finally they decided that he had died, drowned in a river that flowed outside the city. The dark winter days dragged on for a long time.
But then spring came, the sun came out.
– Kai died and will never come back! - said Gerda.
- I don’t believe it! - answered the sunlight.
– He died and will not return again! - she repeated to the swallows.
- We don’t believe it! - they answered.
In the end, Gerda herself stopped believing it.
- Let me put on my new red shoes. “Kai has never seen them before,” she said one morning, “but I’ll go to the river to ask about him.”
It was still very early; she kissed her sleeping grandmother, put on her red shoes and ran alone out of town, straight to the river.
– Is it true that you took my sworn brother? I'll give you my red shoes if you give it back to me!
And the girl felt that the waves were nodding at her in a strange way; then she took off her red shoes, her first treasure, and threw them into the river. But they fell just near the shore, and the waves immediately carried them to land - it was as if the river did not want to take her jewel from the girl, since it could not return Kaya to her. The girl thought that she had not thrown her shoes very far, climbed into the boat, which was rocking in the reeds, stood on the very edge of the stern and again threw her shoes into the water. The boat was not tied down and pushed off from the shore. The girl wanted to jump onto land as quickly as possible, but while she was making her way from the stern to the bow, the boat had already moved a whole yard away from the beret and was quickly rushing along with the current.
Gerda was terribly frightened and began to cry and scream, but no one except the sparrows heard her screams; the sparrows could not carry her to land and only flew after her along the shore and chirped, as if wanting to console her: “We are here!” We are here!
The banks of the river were very beautiful; Everywhere one could see the most wonderful flowers, tall, spreading trees, meadows where sheep and cows grazed, but nowhere was a single human soul to be seen.
“Maybe the river is carrying me to Kai?” – Gerda thought, cheered up, stood on her bow and admired the beautiful green shores for a long, long time. But then she sailed to a large cherry orchard, in which nestled a house with colored glass in the windows and a thatched roof. Two wooden soldiers stood at the door and saluted everyone who passed by with their guns.
Gerda shouted to them - she took them for alive - but they, of course, did not answer her. So she swam even closer to them, the boat came almost to the very shore, and the girl screamed even louder. Leaning on a stick, an old woman came out of the house, wearing a large straw hat painted with wonderful flowers.
- Oh, you poor baby! - said the old lady. - How did you end up on such a big fast river and climb so far?
With these words, the old woman entered the water, hooked the boat with her hook, pulled it to the shore and landed Gerda. Gerda was very happy that she finally found herself on land, although she was afraid of the strange old woman.
- Well, let's go, tell me who you are and how you got here? - said the old lady.
Gerda began to tell her about everything, and the old woman shook her head and repeated:
“Hm! Hm!” But then the girl finished and asked the old woman if she had seen Kai. She replied that he had not passed here yet, but that he would probably pass, so the girl had nothing to grieve about yet - she would rather try the cherries and admire the flowers that grow in the garden: they are more beautiful than those drawn in any picture book and they can tell everything fairy tales! Then the old woman took Gerda by the hand, took her to her house and locked the door.
The windows were high from the floor and all made of multi-colored glass - red, blue and yellow; because of this, the room itself was illuminated with some amazing bright, rainbow light. There was a basket of ripe cherries on the table, and Gerda could eat them to her heart's content; While she was eating, the old woman combed her hair with a golden comb. The hair curled, and the curls surrounded the girl’s fresh, round, rose-like face with a golden glow.
– I have long wanted to have such a cute girl! - said the old lady.
“You’ll see how well we’ll live with you!”
And she continued to comb the girl’s curls, and the longer she combed, the more Gerda forgot her sworn brother Kai - the old woman knew how to cast magic. She was not an evil witch and cast spells only occasionally, for her own pleasure; now she really wanted to keep Gerda with her. And so she went into the garden, touched all the rose bushes with her stick, and as they stood in full bloom, they all went deep, deep into the ground, and there was no trace of them left. The old woman was afraid that when Gerda saw her roses she would remember her own, and then about Kai, and would run away. Having done her job, the old woman took Gerda to the flower garden. The girl’s eyes widened: there were flowers of all varieties, all seasons. What beauty, what fragrance! In all the world you couldn’t find a more colorful and beautiful picture book than this flower garden. Gerda jumped for joy and played among the flowers until the sun set behind the tall cherry trees. Then they put her in a wonderful bed with red silk feather beds stuffed with blue violets; the girl fell asleep and had dreams such as only a queen sees on her wedding day.
The next day Gerda was again allowed to play in the sun. Many days passed like this. Gerda knew every flower in the garden, but no matter how many there were, it still seemed to her that one was missing, but which one? One day she sat and looked at the old woman’s straw hat, painted with flowers; the most beautiful of them was just a rose - the old woman forgot to erase it. This is what absent-mindedness means!
- How! Are there any roses here? - said Gerda and immediately ran to look for them, but the whole garden - there was not a single one!
Then the girl sank to the ground and began to cry. Warm tears fell exactly on the place where one of the rose bushes had previously stood, and as soon as they wet the ground, the bush instantly grew out of it, as fresh and blooming as before.
Gerda wrapped her arms around him, began to kiss the roses and remembered those wonderful roses that bloomed in her house, and at the same time about Kai.
- How I hesitated! - said the girl. – I have to look for Kai!..
Do you know where he is? – she asked the roses. – Do you believe that he died and will not return again?
- He didn't die! - said the roses. “We were underground, where all the dead lie, but Kai was not among them.”
- Thank you! - said Gerda and went to other flowers, looked into their cups and asked: - Do you know where Kai is?
But each flower basked in the sun and thought only about its own fairy tale or story; Gerda heard a lot of them, but not one of the flowers said a word about Kai.
What did the fire lily tell her?
- Do you hear the drum beating? Boom! Boom! The sounds are very monotonous: boom, boom! Listen to the mournful singing of women! Listen to the screams of the priests!.. An Indian widow stands at the stake in a long red robe. The flame is about to engulf her and the body of her dead husband, but she thinks about the living one - about the one who is standing here, about the one whose gaze burns her heart stronger than the flame that is now going to incinerate her body. How can the flame of the heart go out in the flame of a fire?
- I don’t understand anything! - said Gerda.
- This is my fairy tale! - answered the fiery lily.
What did the bindweed say?
– A narrow mountain path leads to an ancient knight’s castle proudly rising on a rock. The old brick walls are thickly covered with ivy. Its leaves cling to the balcony, and a lovely girl is standing on the balcony; she leans over the railing and looks at the road. The girl is fresher than a rose, airier than an apple tree flower swayed by the wind. How her silk dress rustles! “Will he really not come?”
-Are you talking about Kai? – Gerda asked.
– I tell my fairy tale, my dreams! - answered the bindweed.
What did little snowdrop say?
– A long board is swinging between the trees – it’s a swing. Two little girls are sitting on the board; their dresses are white as snow, and long green silk ribbons flutter on their hats. The older brother is kneeling behind the sisters, leaning on the ropes; in one hand he has a small cup of soapy water, in the other there is a clay tube. He blows bubbles, the board shakes, the bubbles fly through the air, shimmering in the sun with all the colors of the rainbow. Here is one hanging at the end of a tube and swaying in the wind. A little black dog, light as a soap bubble, stands on its hind legs and places its front legs on the board, but the board flies up, the little dog falls, yapping and angry. The children tease her, the bubbles burst... The board shakes, the foam scatters - that's my song!
“She may be good, but you say all this in such a sad tone!” And again, not a word about Kai! What will the hyacinths say?
– Once upon a time there were two slender, ethereal beauties, sisters. One was wearing a red dress, another was blue, and the third was completely white. They danced hand in hand in the clear moonlight by the quiet lake. They weren't elves, but real girls. A sweet aroma filled the air, and the girls disappeared into the forest. Now the aroma became even stronger, even sweeter - three coffins floated out of the thicket of the forest; the beautiful sisters lay in them, and fireflies fluttered around them like living lights. Are the girls sleeping or dead? The scent of flowers says they are dead. The evening bell rings for the dead!
– You made me sad! - said Gerda. – Your bells smell so strong too!.. Now I can’t get the dead girls out of my head! Oh, is Kai really dead too?
But the roses were underground and they say that he is not there!
- Ding-dang! – the hyacinth bells rang. – We are not calling over Kai! We don't even know him! We ring our own little song; we don't know the other one!
And Gerda went to the golden dandelion, shining in the shiny green grass.
– You, little clear sun! – Gerda told him. - Tell me, do you know where I can look for my sworn brother?
Dandelion shone even brighter and looked at the girl. What song did he sing to her? Alas! And this song didn’t say a word about Kai!
– Early spring; The clear sun shines welcomingly on the small courtyard. Swallows hover near the white wall adjacent to the neighbors' yard. The first yellow flowers peek out from the green grass, sparkling in the sun like gold. An old grandmother came out to sit in the yard; Here her granddaughter, a poor servant, came from among the guests and kissed the old woman deeply. A girl's kiss is more valuable than gold - it comes straight from the heart. Gold on her lips, gold in her heart. That's it! - said the dandelion.
- My poor grandmother! – Gerda sighed. - How she misses me, how she grieves! No less than I grieved for Kai! But I'll be back soon and bring him with me. There’s no point in asking the flowers anymore – you won’t get anything from them, they only know their songs!
And she tied her skirt higher to make it easier to run, but when she wanted to jump over the daffodil, it hit her on the legs. Gerda stopped, looked at the long flower and asked:
“Perhaps you know something?”
And she leaned towards him, waiting for an answer. What did the narcissist say?
- I see myself! I see myself! Oh, how I smell!.. High, high in a small closet, right under the roof, stands a half-dressed dancer. She either balances on one leg, then again stands firmly on both and tramples the whole world with them - she is, after all, just an optical illusion. Here she is pouring water from a kettle onto some white piece of material that she is holding in her hands. This is her corsage. Cleanliness is the best beauty! A white skirt hangs on a nail driven into the wall; the skirt was also washed with water from a kettle and dried on the roof! Here the girl gets dressed and ties a bright yellow scarf around her neck, highlighting the whiteness of the dress even more sharply. Again one leg flies into the air! Look how straight she stands on the other, like a flower on its stem! I see myself, I see myself!
- Yes, I don’t care much about this! - said Gerda. – There’s nothing to tell me about this! And she ran out of the garden.
The door was only locked; Gerda pulled the rusty bolt, it gave way, the door opened, and the girl, barefoot, began to run along the road! She looked back three times, but no one was chasing her. Finally she got tired, sat down on a stone and looked around: summer had already passed, it was late autumn in the yard, but in the old woman’s wonderful garden, where the sun always shone and flowers of all seasons bloomed, this was not noticeable!
- God! How I hesitated! After all, autumn is just around the corner! There's no time for rest here! - said Gerda and set off again.
Oh, how her poor, tired legs hurt! How cold and damp it was in the air! The leaves on the willows turned completely yellow, the fog settled on them in large drops and flowed down to the ground; the leaves were falling down. One thorn tree stood covered with astringent, tart berries. How gray and dull the whole white world seemed!

But they fell near the shore, and the waves immediately carried them back - as if the river did not want to take her jewel from the girl, since it could not return Kaya to her. The girl thought that she had not thrown her shoes far enough, climbed into the boat, which was rocking in the reeds, stood on the very edge of the stern and again threw her shoes into the water. The boat was not tied and moved away from the shore due to its push. The girl wanted to jump ashore as quickly as possible, but while she was making her way from the stern to the bow, the boat had already completely sailed away and was quickly rushing along with the current. Gerda was terribly frightened and began to cry and scream, but no one except the sparrows heard her. The sparrows could not carry her to land and only flew after her along the shore and chirped, as if wanting to console her: “We are here!” We're here! The boat was carried further and further. Gerda sat quietly, wearing only stockings: her red shoes floated behind the boat, but could not catch up with it. “Maybe the river is carrying me to Kai?” - thought Gerda, cheered up, stood up and admired the beautiful green shores for a long, long time. But then she sailed to a large cherry orchard, in which there was a house under a thatched roof, with red and blue glass in the windows. Two wooden soldiers stood at the door and saluted everyone who passed by. Gerda shouted to them - she took them for alive - but they, of course, did not answer her. So she swam even closer to them, the boat came almost to the very shore, and the girl screamed even louder. An old, old woman came out of the house with a stick, wearing a large straw hat painted with wonderful flowers. - Oh, you poor child! - said the old lady. “And how did you end up on such a big, fast river and get so far?” With these words, the old woman entered the water, hooked the boat with a stick, pulled it to the shore and landed Gerda. Gerda was very glad that she finally found herself on land, although she was afraid of the unfamiliar old woman. “Well, let’s go, tell me who you are and how you got here,” said the old woman. Gerda began to tell her about everything, and the old woman shook her head and repeated: “Hm! Hm!” When the girl finished, she asked the old woman if she had seen Kai. She replied that he had not passed here yet, but he would probably pass, so there was nothing to grieve about yet, let Gerda better taste the cherries and admire the flowers that grow in the garden: they are more beautiful than in any picture book, and that’s all they know how to tell stories. Then the old woman took Gerda by the hand, took her to her house and locked the door. The windows were high from the floor and all made of multi-colored glass - red, blue and yellow; because of this, the room itself was illuminated with some amazing rainbow light. There was a basket of wonderful cherries on the table, and Gerda could eat as many of them as she wanted. While she was eating, the old woman combed her hair with a golden comb. The hair curled in curls and surrounded the girl’s sweet, friendly, round, like a rose, face with a golden glow. - I have long wanted to have such a cute girl! - said the old lady. “You’ll see how well you and I will get along!” And she continued to comb the girl’s curls, and the longer she combed, the more Gerda forgot her sworn brother Kai - the old woman knew how to cast magic. Only she was not an evil witch and cast spells only occasionally, for her own pleasure; now she really wanted to keep Gerda with her. And so she went into the garden, touched all the rose bushes with her stick, and as they stood in full bloom, they all went deep into the ground, and there was no trace of them left. The old woman was afraid that at the sight of these roses Gerda would remember her own, and then about Kay, and run away from her. Then the old woman took Gerda to the flower garden. Oh, what a scent there was, what beauty: a variety of flowers, and for every season! In all the world there would not have been a more colorful and beautiful picture book than this flower garden. Gerda jumped for joy and played among the flowers until the sun set behind the tall cherry trees. Then they put her in a wonderful bed with red silk feather beds stuffed with blue violets. The girl fell asleep and had dreams such as only a queen sees on her wedding day. The next day Gerda was again allowed to play in the wonderful flower garden in the sun. Many days passed like this. Gerda now knew every flower in the garden, but no matter how many there were, it still seemed to her that one was missing, but which one? And then one day she sat and looked at the old woman’s straw hat, painted with flowers, and the most beautiful of them was a rose - the old woman forgot to erase it when she sent the living roses underground. This is what absent-mindedness means! - How! Are there any roses here? - said Gerda and immediately ran into the garden, looked for them, looked for them, but never found them. Then the girl sank to the ground and began to cry. Warm tears fell exactly on the spot where one of the rose bushes had previously stood, and as soon as they moistened the ground, the bush instantly grew out of it, just as blooming as before. Gerda wrapped her arms around him, began to kiss the roses and remembered those wonderful roses that bloomed in her house, and at the same time about Kai. - How I hesitated! - said the girl. - I have to look for Kai!.. You don’t know where he is? - she asked the roses. - Is it true that he died and will not come back? - He didn't die! - answered the roses. “We were underground, where all the dead lie, but Kai was not among them.” - Thank you! - said Gerda and went to other flowers, looked into their cups and asked: - Do you know where Kai is? But each flower basked in the sun and thought only about its own fairy tale or story. Gerda heard a lot of them, but not one said a word about Kai. Then Gerda went to the dandelion, which shone in the shiny green grass. - You, little clear sun! - Gerda told him. “Tell me, do you know where I can look for my sworn brother?” Dandelion shone even brighter and looked at the girl. What song did he sing to her? Alas! And this song didn’t say a word about Kai! — It was the first spring day, the sun was warm and shining so welcomingly on the small courtyard. Its rays slid along the white wall of the neighboring house, and the first yellow flower appeared near the wall; it sparkled in the sun like gold. An old grandmother came out to sit in the yard. So her granddaughter, a poor servant, came from among the guests and kissed the old woman. A girl's kiss is more valuable than gold - it comes straight from the heart. Gold on her lips, gold in her heart, gold in the sky in the morning! That's it! - said the dandelion. - My poor grandmother! - Gerda sighed. “That’s right, she misses me and grieves, just as she grieved for Kai.” But I'll be back soon and I'll bring him with me. There is no point in asking the flowers any more - you won’t get any sense from them, they just keep saying their own thing! - And she ran to the end of the garden. The door was locked, but Gerda wobbled the rusty bolt for so long that it gave way, the door opened, and the girl, barefooted, began to run along the road. She looked back three times, but no one was chasing her. Finally she got tired, sat down on a stone and looked around: summer had already passed, it was late autumn outside. Only in the old woman’s wonderful garden, where the sun always shone and flowers of all seasons bloomed, this was not noticeable. - God! How I hesitated! After all, autumn is just around the corner! There's no time for rest here! - said Gerda and set off again. Oh, how her poor tired legs ached! How cold and damp it was all around! The long leaves on the willows turned completely yellow, the fog settled on them in large drops and flowed down to the ground; the leaves were falling down. Only the thorn tree stood covered with astringent, tart berries. How gray and dull the whole world seemed!
