Even in an adult, the story of turning the ugly duckling into the majestic and proud bird, told by Hans Christian Andersen, causes tears. The adventures of the unfortunate chick, spelled by the whole world, the writer managed to describe sensually and piercingly. The chief hero was lucky. Unlike many characters of the Danish Fairy Tale, his fairy tale - with a happy ending.History of creation
In the works of a fabulous character, the Danish author described the unsightly prose of life. "Ugly duckling" did not exception, moreover, the fairy tale is considered autobiographical. Hans Christian Andersen did not differ in external beauty, contemporaries assessed his idle as ridiculous and funny:
"His figure always had something strange in himself, something awkward, unstable, unwittingly causing a smile. His hands and legs were disproportionately long and thin, the brushes of the hands are wide and flat, and the feet of the legs of such huge sizes that he probably never happened to fear so that someone replaced his Kalosh. His nose was also disproportionally great and somehow especially issued forward. "But not only appearance became the subject of ridicule. The future author of the "Little Mermaid", "Thumbelling" and "Snow Queen" had to experience a lot of humiliations in his life, as well as his bird character. Andersen studied at school for the poor, where he was called by a fool and propheted inglorious fate. And at the university, he was subjected to sophisticated bullying from the rector.
Rodnit with a nasty utennox writer another moment. The chick, without having resigned with the attack, went on a lonely journey through the light, during which he was hungry and Merz, but did not change the dream of a beautiful future. The soul of a noncainting bird stretched to the majestic proud swans.
So Andersen - at the age of 14, was without relatives and acquaintances in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark to reach the goal and stuff to the glorious cohort of artists, poets and artists. However, the writer, and his fairy-tale hero managed to get what they had so long for the way.
The prototype of the old woman who lived in the company with cat and chicken, became a family that was happy to accept Andersen to visit. Only one drawback confused the young writer - in that house he was constantly taught to live, instructed the right way, dictated their rules of behavior. This feature is transferred to the book.
The fairy tale was published in 1843. Rector Simon Meisling, who mursed once over the future fairy tale, took the post of royal censor, and again the enemies crossed. The teacher was still ruthless to the former student and called the work of an outrageous thing.
From his words, the "ugly duckling" was Paskville to their homeland, where the bird courtyard is Denmark, and his evil residents are all Danes. Maisling threatened to prevent the publishing of a fairy tale in the journal, but the promises were not destined to come true. The work fell in love with the Danish readers, and then the bookas of the whole world. It was reached and to Russia - Anna Ganzen translated a fairy tale to Russian.
Image and plot
Summer sunny day under an empty burdock in the courtyard of the old manor Mama-duck ascended. Only one, the biggest young eggs could not be born. And finally, the egg was swollen, and an unusual gray chick was born. I didn't like my mother. Later it turned out that the "freak" is also not able to swim. The society of animals inhabited in the courtyard, strictly condemned the duckling for dissolving her family, and the native brothers and sisters during the game something and caused to nourish, humiliate, ridiculously.
Young burdock decided to run from his native yard. Somehow passed through the fence and went in an unknown direction. On the way, he met wild ducks, whom also hesitated the unsightly species of duckling. The hero did not touch the hunting dog - so he was ugly. One day, the duckling saw beautiful swans, the greatestly floating on the lake, and even answered their cry, but it didn't even decide to swim closer, fearing that these birds were rejected.
The coming winter traveler had to stall in hunger and the cold in the lake bushes, and with the arrival of spring, he again saw swans and, hurt fear, swam to them. To surprise, the birds did not peck the guest, on the contrary, they stroked his beaks and necks. In the mirror of the water, the nasty duckling suddenly saw his reflection - he watched the same handsome swan on him.
The unusual of the work lies in the fact that the author endowed it with elements of psychology. The fate of the character is shown through his mental state: the mosses of the monologists are invested in the mouth of the moss, in which he tries to find the cause of such dislike for himself. The chick is sad, then tired, then overflowing with joy, finding his transformation. Sensual tale makes worrying with the hero.
Through the characteristics of the heroes in the fairy tale, Andersen refuses the main defect of society - the inability to take another with all its shortcomings. The morality contains the path traveled by Duckling: only having experienced suffering from the humiliation and not confused with peace of mind and love, you can truly rejoice in happiness. The writer endowed a fairy tale wise thought:
"Do not trouble be on the light in a dinner nest if you got out of the swan eggs!"Shielding
