Essay on the topic: “My favorite fairy tale by A.S. Pushkin"


About the fisherman and the fish

My favorite hero of Pushkin's fairy tales is the Golden Fish. A corresponding story is told about this magical animal, which can fulfill any desire. In it, the main character uses her ability to save her own life. Caught in a net, she offers the fisherman his wish in exchange for freedom. But the kind old man lets her go just like that.

However, the story does not end there. The fisherman's wife, having learned about what happened, forces the old man to look for the magical creature again to ask for a new trough. When the wish is fulfilled, the woman becomes greedy and asks for more and more gifts.

The old woman, who knows no limits, soon logically returns to her original poverty. This shows that excessive authority and rudeness, the desire to do nothing and live in luxury will never lead to anything good. You need to be content with what you have and set yourself real goals, otherwise you can instantly lose all the benefits.

In this situation, the only pity is the old man, who meekly indulged the desires of his wife, although in his soul he opposed them, he was ashamed of his requests . But he is humble and wants nothing for himself, continuing to live in poverty even when his wife becomes rich.

General morality

Whatever fairy tale the child chooses to write, the conclusion from it can be general. If in class you are given the task of making notes on several stories, students will see that the theme of good and evil in Pushkin’s works is expressed very clearly. Positive heroes with such qualities as wisdom, justice, goodwill, always prevail over those whose characteristics include greed, anger or envy.

That's why children love Pushkin's fairy tales. The works that he composed are attractive because they give clear guidelines on how to act so that everything turns out well in life, and make you think about the consequences of bad actions.

About the dead princess and the seven heroes

Most of all among Pushkin's fairy tales, I like the story in which the queen, confident that she alone should be the most beautiful in the world, tries to get rid of her stepdaughter, who could act as her rival. The cruel woman orders the maid to leave the girl tied to a tree in the forest so that the wolves can kill her, but she does not dare to do such an act and lets the beauty go.

The girl seeks shelter in the forest and finds a house where seven heroes live. The men take pity on the poor girl and accept her as a sister, but soon the queen finds out that her plan failed and decides to put it into practice again.

This time she takes the form of an old woman and treats her stepdaughter to a poisoned apple, which puts her into a deep sleep. The heroes who find the girl cannot wake her up and sadly leave her in a crystal coffin in a cave.

The beauty is saved by the prince, whose power of love awakens the unfortunate woman. The young couple gets married, and the evil queen dies from her own anger and powerlessness.

This fairy tale in Pushkin’s work can be considered an example of how evil and envy towards others can destroy many lives. But it also gives faith that loyalty and virtue will overcome any troubles.

About the priest and worker Balda

My favorite fairy tale by Pushkin is dedicated to the story of the cunning worker Balda, who ended up in the house of a greedy priest. The work begins with the classic fairy tale introduction “Once upon a time...”. Next we talk about how the “pop, with a thick forehead” hired Balda at the bazaar. What attracted him to the employee was the low cost of the services offered. For his work for a year, the peasant only asked permission to give the owner three slaps on the forehead .

The deal took place, and Balda began to work. He performed his duties diligently, but when the year began to come to an end, the priest decided to avoid even such an inexpensive payment for him and gave the man a supposedly impossible task. However, Balda dealt with him, although to do this he had to trick the devils into obtaining rent.

The priest had no choice but to pay the worker, but he made such noise that it knocked the owner out of his wits. From this book you can get the idea that greed and the desire to deceive another will never lead to anything good, and cunning and intelligence will always help you find a way out of any situation.
