I.A. Krylov. “The Wolf in the Kennel” as a fable about the war of 1812. Aesopian language.

(Teacher of Russian language and literature MBOU Lyceum of the village of Kanevskaya, Kanevsky district, Krasnodar Territory Lyamina Larisa Nikolaevna)

Goal: to consolidate theoretical information about the fable, its features, to teach expressive reading,
introduce I. A. Krylov’s fable “The Wolf in the Kennel” and its historical basis; develop skills in analyzing a literary work.

During the classes

  1. Acquaintance with the biography of I.A. Krylova (student messages)
  2. Historical and literary introduction to the study of the fable “The Wolf in the Kennel” (preliminary task)

The situation described in the fable of I. A. Krylov quite accurately reflects the events of the Patriotic War of 1812. The line: “A wolf at night, thinking of climbing into a sheepfold, ended up in a kennel” - tells us that Napoleon easily conquered all the major states of Europe, as The wolf easily grabs harmless sheep. He thought that conquering Russia would be just as easy. But he was mistaken: “In a minute the kennel became hell...” writes Krylov. The entire people rose up to fight the invaders; both the army and partisan detachments of peasants fought with Napoleon’s troops. The phrase: “Fire! - they shout, - fire! - can be understood as an allegory about a fire in Moscow. It was in burning Moscow that Napoleon felt driven into a corner and realized that his army was close to death, that he would have to answer for all the evil and troubles he had brought.
From Moscow, Napoleon sent a letter to St. Petersburg, which was then the capital of the Russian Empire, to Emperor Alexander I asking for peace. "Friends! What's all this fuss about? I, your old matchmaker and godfather...” The commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Mikhail Illarionovich Kutuzov, an old, experienced commander, did not believe Napoleon’s assurances. Krylov in the fable calls Kutuzov the Hunter: “Then the Hunter interrupted in response, - // You are gray, and I, my friend, am gray...”
From Moscow, Napoleon decided to retreat with his army to the south of Russia, but Kutuzov’s troops forced him to retreat along the Smolensk road, which Napoleon destroyed during the offensive. Hounds are dogs that chase a running animal. “A pack of hounds” is what Krylov calls the army that pursued the retreating French, and the partisan detachments of peasants who attacked enemy troops when they least expected an attack.

  1. Reading by role
  2. Analysis of the content of the fable

What are the main images of the fable? (Wolf and Hunter). Why? (The main meaning of the fable is expressed through them, which is why their names are given in capital letters.)

What in the appearance and behavior of the wolf resembles Napoleon? (The Wolf’s snapping teeth and his bristling fur transparently hint at Napoleon’s hostility towards the Russian people. The hopelessness of the Wolf, who mistakenly climbed into the kennel instead of the sheepfold, is an allegorical image of the hopeless situation of Napoleon, who treacherously invaded Russia. The Wolf’s deceitful tricks are expressed in the words: “ My cunning man has entered into negotiations” - these are Napoleon’s insidious solicitations for peace.)

How does the image of the Hunter remind us of Kutuzov? (The gray hair of the Hunter reminds us of the image of the elderly, gray-haired Kutuzov, and the wise response to the Wolf and the reprisal against him clearly speak of the historical decision of the Russian commander-in-chief not to put up with Napoleon, but to fight him until complete defeat.)

In what words of the fable is there a hint of the partisan movement against Napoleon? (“They run: some with a club, another with a gun. “Fire!” They shout: “fire!”

5.Repetition. The teacher's explanation of the features of language and the construction of fables.

What is a fable? Give a definition.(Fable - is an epic literary genre that creates, in a succinct and simple form, an allegorical picture of relationships e communication of a person with other people and the world around him.)

How do you understand the phrase allegorical, allegorical meaning? How do you explain the concept of allegory?(Allegory - artistic technique when animals, p A Sthenias live a human-like life.)

What is the composition of the fable? (There is always a moralizing conclusion in a fable; it can be found either at the beginning of the work or at the end.)

The first part of the fable is a narrative in content and structure of speech. It reports the Wolf's invasion of the kennel and shows the quick, active reaction of the kennel yard to this event. There's a lot of action here. It is given in increasing order, which is conveyed by an abundance of verbs: hit, rose, flooded, rushing, screaming, running. Nouns: yard, bully, fight, thief, hell, fire, dubyo, gun - further enhance the dynamics and tension of the event, hinting at its military nature.

The second part of the fable describes the Wolf's hopeless situation.

The third and fourth parts present a dialogue and finally reveal the ideological content of the fable. Convinced of his miscalculations, the Wolf began negotiations with the Hunter and the hounds. In this episode, the Wolf’s speech is especially interesting for its hypocrisy. It is distinguished by a pleading-swearing tone and is in clear contradiction with the character of the Wolf. The “Wolf Oath” is an oath of a predator who will certainly deceive. The Wolf’s speech is lengthy because it aims to lull the hunter’s vigilance.

The final part of the fable - the short dynamic speech of the Hunter and his reprisal against the Wolf - realizes the moral of the fable:

There is no other way to deal with wolves than by skinning them.

  1. Speech development

Here are illustrations for the fable; describe what you see in them, what moments of the fable they capture.

  1. Homework. Compose a crossword puzzle based on the fable “Wolf in the kennel”

Ivan Andreevich Krylov wrote the fable “The Wolf in the Kennel,” which is symbolically connected with the events of the Patriotic War of 1812. The plot of the work is original.

The entire action of the fable develops in the kennel. The Wolf got into this closed space, intending to kidnap the sheep. There's just a mistake. A fatal, let's say, mistake. The dogs smelled the gray one and started barking. The hounds, hearing the noise and assessing the situation, cut off all escape routes for the predator, closing the gate tightly.

The wolf decided to use a trick. He began to negotiate with the dogs, insisting that they were his distant relatives. The insidious beast tried in every way to get free, he assured that he would never even look in the direction of the sheep again. And if the dogs want, he will even protect them. But everyone knows the wolf's nature. And the Hunter was under no circumstances going to agree to a settlement agreement with this deceiver and cunning man. But he simply unleashed a pack of dogs on the Wolf.

Why is this fable directly related to the War of 1812? Let's find out now. By the Wolf who ended up in the kennel by mistake, Krylov means Napoleon. At the moment when the fable was written, he was already in Moscow and was looking forward to peace with the Russian emperor. Bonaparte enjoyed the victory, being in the clear confidence that he had already won it.

The Russians were in no hurry to agree to the conditions put forward by the arrogant and self-confident Napoleon. While the French ruler was waiting for an answer, he found himself in a trap. Kutuzov began military operations in the rear, making it difficult for the enemy to retreat.

Like the Wolf in Krylov's fable, Napoleon found himself in an unpleasant and even difficult situation. The flattering words of a predatory beast can be equated to the speeches of a French conqueror.

By dogs, Ivan Andreevich means the entire Russian people, eager to fight to defend their country. But the Wolf was locked in the kennel by the Hunter. If we translate this into the historical situation in Russia, then we can claim that Kutuzov himself is the Hunter, who locked the French emperor in Moscow as if in a trap.

The commander-in-chief of the Russian army read Krylov's fable to the soldiers, showing his gray head in confirmation of the words of the Russian fabulist. The soldiers laughed out loud. The great writer, with his works, raised the spirit of the Russian people and directly those who went to the battlefield.

Ivan Andreevich followed what was happening in the country, noticed everything and aptly depicted it in his unsurpassed fables.

Like a fable, it originated 4000 years ago. A witty allegorical narrative certainly contains the main idea - morality. This genre was introduced and revived into Russian literature by Ivan Andreevich Krylov. If the first fabulists - the ancient Greek author Aesop, the 19th century German writer and playwright Lessing - preferred prose form, then Krylov’s fables were written exclusively in poetry. “The Wolf in the Kennel” is a fable of high patriotic content, written during the Great Year, at the time of the invasion of Napoleonic troops and their inglorious flight from the battlefield.

It is characteristic that in school the study of this work is not always accompanied by reference to a parallel with a historical plot in which there are two main characters: the Hunter - commander Mikhail Ivanovich Kutuzov, the Wolf - Napoleon. Meanwhile, it is in this context that the “moral of this fable” should be perceived. Analysis of the fable “The Wolf in the Kennel” is often done superficially; the work is presented as a fairy tale about an unlucky wolf who, “thinking of ending up in a sheepfold, ended up in a kennel.” An unimaginable noise arose, the dogs were eager to fight, and the Wolf sat in fear, “pressing his back into the corner,” and began to speak flattering speeches about good neighborliness. But the Hunter cannot be fooled: he knows the nature of wolves well, and will go to peace “only after skinning them.”

Used by I. A. Krylov, they vividly reproduce the atmosphere of military battles, the state of mind of a Wolf caught in a trap, as well as the anger of the inhabitants of the kennel, where an uninvited guest showed up. Is it possible to more vividly describe the confrontation between the defenders of the Motherland and the aggressor, who at the first danger backed down and even tried to make peace - what a wolf in the kennel? A fable is a miniature work that can be compared in significance to an action-packed novel or a historical story.

What is “Wolf in the Kennel” really about? The fable describes a real historical fact from the times of the Patriotic War. Realizing that he could not defeat the Russians, the emperor decided to make peace with Kutuzov. However, these negotiations did not take place, and any attempts to make peace would have been doomed to failure. The enemy troops were completely defeated and fled shamefully, freezing in the snows of Russia and losing thousands and thousands of people. This is colorfully and metaphorically written in the satirical picture “Wolf in the Kennel.” The fable was written precisely in the memorable year of 1812.

The fabulist handed over his creation to Kutuzov’s army. History tells that Mikhail Ivanovich, while touring his regiments, would certainly read “The Wolf in the Kennel” to the soldiers by heart. The fable contains the following words: “You are gray, and I, friend, am gray.” At these words, Kutuzov every time took off his cocked hat and showed his gray head. The soldiers' delight and inspiration knew no bounds.

The meaning of this fable is so transparent and obvious that the author did not even accompany it with his traditional explanation - “The moral of this fable is this.” Someone who defends his home and his land cannot be defeated or tricked by any tricks - that’s the whole moral of the fable “The Wolf in the Kennel.” She is timeless. That’s why it remains relevant to this day.

I Org moment.

II Teacher's opening speech.

More than two hundred years have passed since the birth of the great fabulist “Grandfather Krylov,” as the people lovingly call him, but his fables are not outdated, they teach us to understand true moral values, folk wisdom, and expand life experience.

III. Acquaintance with the biography of I.A. Krylova, student performance.

I.A. Krylov was born in Moscow in 1769. His childhood and adolescence passed in difficult conditions. Andrei Prokhorovich Krylov, the father of the future writer, was an army officer. He left his son as an inheritance a soldier's chest with books. Mother, Krylova Maria Alekseevna, did not know how to read and write, but was kind and smart by nature. After the death of their father, the Krylovs lived in poverty. The future fabulist began to serve in one of the state institutions as a “sub-clerical clerk.” He early became acquainted with judicial arbitrariness, bribery, chicanery, and the humiliating atmosphere of human lawlessness.

The future fabulist did not attend school. But he had a thirst for knowledge, and he had exceptional abilities. He self-taught himself in languages, mathematics and became a highly educated person for his time.

Life did not spoil Krylov, and every step towards success was not given to him in vain. Krylov wrote comedies for the theater and published the magazine “Spectator”. In addition, he played the violin beautifully and drew well. But it was the fable that made him famous.

Krylov wrote 205 fables. He loved his homeland and considered it his duty to fight the shortcomings of society. The interests, skills, habits, expressions of fable characters are close and understandable to the widest circle of readers.

The writer drew many of his stories from the popular language, from proverbs and sayings. The fabulist spoke a lot of bitter truths about the unjust order in Russia, about cruel landowners, selfish officials, and arrogant nobles. We laugh at the heroes of fables - funny animals, sometimes cunning and evil, sometimes stupid. But we understand well that Krylov ridicules and exposes human vices and shortcomings: laziness, envy, ignorance.

IVWork on the topic of the lesson.

Teacher's opening speech.

The fable genre was not chosen by Krylov by chance. It was impossible to go into battle with an open visor, the forces were too unequal, which is why Krylov chooses an allegorical form of narration in Aesopian language. The works of Ivan Andreevich are interesting in theme, idea and figurative, surprisingly intelligible language. In his fables, Krylov discusses and resolves universal human issues or specific events, as, for example, in the work “The Wolf in the Kennel”

Let's look at the text of this fable and analyze it.

A) Expressive reading of a fable.

B) Analysis of the fable.

    Determine the type of speech.

    What is the theme of the fable?(The story about the Wolf who climbed into the kennel and was caught by the kennel)

    What is the main idea of ​​the text? In order to define the idea, let's remember the history of the creation of the fable.(The fable was written on the events of 1812, when Napoleon entered Moscow and began to look for ways to make peace with Russia. But the Russians under the command of Kutuzov refused: there could be no talk of any agreement while the enemy remained on Russian soil, in its heart, Moscow ). (The fable allegorically describes the failed negotiations between Napoleon and Kutuzov)

    Vocabulary work. Let's now define the meaning of some words and expressions.

Stable – indoor area for animals

Hounds – kennel servant who cares for dogs and participates in hunting

World – amicable agreement, dispute resolution, litigation without trial

Hounds – hunting dog breed

“The yard has risen” - means that the whole people began to fight with the Wolf

“The dogs are flooded in the stables” - in the literal sense they barked loudly, in the figurative sense - after a long retreat from the border to Smolensk and further towards Moscow, the army wanted a battle

“And instantly the gates are locked” - the direct meaning is supplemented by a figurative one: the Russian army, having maneuvered and reached the Kaluga road, closed the escape route for Napoleon in the area where there were food supplies

“Bristling fur, // With his eyes, it seems, He would like to eat everyone...” The Russian people have a proverb: “The eye sees, but the tooth hurts.” Wolf Napoleon wants to conquer all of Russia, but he cannot. His possibilities are less than his desires.

"Pay the Sheep" - After the liberation of Russia, the Russian army made a foreign campaign, liberating all the European countries that Napoleon had captured. Napoleon understood that if he did not conquer Russia, he would not be able to hold on to the other conquered countries.

“Let’s establish a common harmony” - This means we will conclude a “peace treaty.” Wolf - Napoleon invites the Russian Tsar to become his ally and fight on the side of Russia.

“Don’t make a world one” - means not to conclude a peace treaty

“Release a pack of hounds against the Wolf” - give the army the command to pursue the retreating French in order to drive them out of the country

“The kennel has become hell” - horror, noise, chaos when the Wolf hit her.

Option 2 writes a metaphor, allegory(metaphor: the kennel has become hell, with his eyes he would like to eat everyone, a wolf in the kennel; allegory: Kutuzov and Napoleon are depicted through images, i.e. Wolf and Hunter)

VSumming up the lesson

    Is the idea of ​​the fable “The Wolf in the Kennel” relevant inXXIcentury?

(Yes, it is relevant. It embodies the patriotic spirit of the people, the thoughts and feelings of the author himself in the hour of terrible trials)

    Is the fable contemporary today?

(Yes, it is modern. Now we live in a very turbulent world. From the news we constantly learn about interethnic wars and terrorist acts. Therefore, the words of I.A. Krylov sound topical today, because residents of any country in the world have to face this problem.

    Which fabulists of the Moldovan and Ukrainian peoples do you know? Call them fables. Do they have fables that reflect the history of the people?

And I would like to end our lesson with the words of Prince P. Vyazemsky about Krylov:

He corrected people with fun,

Sweeping away the dust of vices;

He glorified himself with fables,

And these words are our reality.

And they won’t forget this one,

While they speak Russian,

We confirmed it a long time ago,

Her grandchildren will confirm it.
