II. Teacher's word, commented reading and analysis of the fairy tale.
The fairy tale “The Wild Landowner” reflects the most complex processes in reform life. In it, these processes are presented as everyday manifestations of life. At first glance, everything in the fairy tale “The Wild Landowner” is simple and clear, but this is far from the case. Already the contemporaries of Saltykov Shchedrin realized that the work of such an original master of words, whose poetics was based on “slave”, Aesopian language based on the techniques of allegory and allegory, had reached such a scale that it required deep understanding and explanation.
What brings the fairy tale “The Wild Landowner” closer to the story about the peasant and the generals?
(What brings us together is that in both cases the man, the peasant, is the breadwinner and creator of all life’s values. However, in “The Tale...” “the generals are looking for the peasant, forcing him to work for themselves, and in the fairy tale “The Wild Landowner”, on the contrary: “Russian landowner ", Prince Urus-Kuchum-Kaldibayev, expels the peasants from the estate.)
“In a certain kingdom, in a certain state,” the satirist traditionally begins the story, “there lived a landowner, he lived and looked at the light and rejoiced. He had enough of everything: peasants, grain, livestock, land, and gardens. And that landowner was stupid, he read the newspaper “Vest” and his body was soft, white and crumbly.” So, one of the reasons for the discontent of the “landowner” has been named - the newspaper “Vest”, which became a guide in life for the hero. This conservative newspaper, like M. N. Katkov’s “Moskovskie Vedomosti”, called on landowners not to make concessions to the peasants, and to try to maintain their privileges in post-reform times. “The landowner will look at the newspaper Vest,” says the satirist, “what should be done in this case, and read: “Try!”
“Only one word has been written,” says the stupid landowner, “and it’s a golden word!”
Let's decipher this mysterious word “Try!”
(It turns out that the landowner is not happy with the fact that “there are too many peasants in our kingdom!” The landowner sees that the peasants are not decreasing every day, but are still increasing, - he sees and fears: “Well, how he has all my goods will you come?")
Urus-Kuchum-Kildibaev begins the most drastic measures, which, in his opinion, should have brought the peasants to complete ruin, and then to physical destruction, to the “downsizing” of the now hated “peasant”.
(This is also one of the methods of allegory. This Turkic surname did not arise by chance. Only the Horde yoke can be compared with the yoke of a serf, only the enemy will come up with the idea of “reducing” the population, destroying the Russian breadwinner.)
It is necessary to inform students that in post-reform times, many law firms arose that considered the claims of landowners against peasants. They offered their services through newspapers, advising fines for logging and grazing on those lands that previously belonged to the peasant community, and after the reform the landowners annexed these lands to their own. The mostly illiterate peasants did not understand the new cunning rules and often even ended up in court. A similar situation is described by Saltykov in a fairy tale.
The landowner and the peasants take turns turning to God. What is the difference?
(For a landowner, God must indulge his whims - remove peasants from his estate so that they do not interfere with his indulgence; the peasants turn to God as the only savior from death. “Lord!” they exclaim, “it’s easier for us to perish even with small children than to spend our whole lives like this.” toil!”).
Teacher's word.
The plot of the tale is the fulfillment of the wishes of the “stupid landowner” and the peasants suffering from his tyranny. “The merciful God heard the orphan’s tearful prayer, and there was no man in the entire domain of the stupid landowner. No one noticed where the man had gone, but people only saw when suddenly a chaff whirlwind arose and, like a black cloud, the peasant’s long trousers flew through the air. The landowner went out onto the balcony, sniffed and smelled: clean, pure air in all his possessions. Naturally, he was satisfied, he thought: I’ll pamper my white body, my body is white, loose, crumbly.”
Exercise.
Consider the stages of identifying the stupidity of the landowner.
At first, the landowner decided to indulge in lordly undertakings, start a theater and invited not just anyone, but the most famous actor of that time, Sadovsky, with his “actors.” But the emptiness of the landowner's house and the absence of stage workers scared Sadovsky away. The dirty, unkempt landowner caused disgust and ridicule of his “stupidity.”
The landowner's next attempt to have fun is to invite the generals' neighbors to visit and play cards. Those who arrived exactly fit the description that was given to the generals from the fairy tale about two generals: “Although the generals were real, they were hungry, and therefore they arrived very soon.” But they were not able to visit. They could not be surprised at the fresh air and the absence of the annoying man, but this joy immediately came to an end as soon as the generals got hungry. The angry generals, in turn calling the landowner stupid, “dispersed to their homes.”
Now the landowner had every reason to think about the correctness of his behavior. After all, this is the second time they call him a fool.
When doubts arose about the correctness of his chosen path, he decided to tell fortunes on cards, but fortune telling showed that he did the right thing, that “he should not look.” “If,” he says, “fortune itself indicates, then one must be firm to the end.”
Reading the dialogue between the landowner and the police captain.
(Students read the text by role)
How do the landowner's dreams differ from reality?
(What the landowner fails to do in reality passes into his dreams. He dreams that the governor is very pleased with his inflexibility, moreover, that for this inflexibility he was made a minister and “he walks around in ribbons and writes circulars: “Be firm and don’t look!” He even dreams of living in heaven with Eve on the banks of the Euphrates and Tigris.
Awakening brings him back to real life, where his usual servant Senka is not there, but a representative of the authorities unexpectedly appears in the person of the police captain. The police captain clearly explained to the stupid landowner that with the disappearance of the peasants, the receipt of taxes and taxes had ceased, that the state treasury was empty, that the products produced by the peasants had disappeared, that the country was facing famine.)
And who in his dreams already saw himself as a minister for his “firmness” now falls into the category of enemies of the state. It’s no coincidence that the police officer said to him when he said goodbye: “Do you know what this smells like?” And the landowner already seems to be exiled, but suddenly the sensible thought dawns on him that maybe his “dear man” is there.
The landowner might come to his senses here, but what about him?
(On the advice of the newspaper “Vest”, the prince does not relax and sticks to his previous line. “No, I’d rather go completely wild, it’s better to let me wander through the forests with wild animals, but let no one say that the Russian nobleman, Prince Urus-Kuchum-Kildibaev is from principles retreated!")
Conclusion.
It is the reluctance to sacrifice principles to the detriment of oneself, to the detriment of the state, that the satirist defines as “savagery,” political, civil, intellectual savagery. Rejection of new forms of life conditioned by time is one of the aspects of the landowner’s being, which allowed the satirist to call Urus-Kuchum-Kildibaev a “wild landowner.” The other side is physical savagery, which after the moral one has gone into full swing.
How is physical savagery characterized by the author?
(The wild landowner “became terribly strong, so greasy that he even considered himself entitled to enter into friendly relations with that same bear who had once looked at him through the window.” The landowner became truly “wild,” strong, uncontrollable, dangerous. Here there was already something to think about for the authorities who “patronized the landowners”).
How is the problem solved? Show the absurdity of the situation.
(“As if on purpose, at that time a swarm of men, which had formed in the province, flew through the provincial town and showered the entire market square. Now they took this grace, put it in a whip and sent it to the district.” Without asking the men, they were taken as prisoners, in a cage, and yet less so did they get down to business with their usual dexterity: “And suddenly again there was a smell in that district of chaff and sheepskins; but at the same time, flour, meat, and all kinds of livestock appeared in the market, and so many taxes arrived in one day that the treasurer, When he saw such a pile of money, he just clasped his hands in surprise.”
The absurdity of the situation is that an innocent man was “caught and imprisoned” as a criminal, and the wild landowner, who acquired an animal appearance, even despite the fact that he is “the instigator of all the troubles,” “is most delicately inspired to stop his fanfare and did not interfere with the receipt of taxes to the treasury.”)
Read what happened to the landowner. What conclusion can be drawn?
(Without the “peasant”, not only the economy declines; thanks to the peasant, who smells of chaff and sheepskin, the “cultured” landowner also exists. All those in power understand this).
Which definition is more suitable for the fairy tale “The Wild Landowner”: “humorous” or “satirical”? Look up the definitions of humor and satire in the dictionary.
During the lesson you will become familiar with the topic of exposing serfdom in the works of Saltykov-Shchedrin, using the example of the fairy tale “The Wild Landowner”. You will consider its genre features and highlight the main satirical techniques for creating the image of a landowner.
That is why M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin turned to this genre. His fairy tales are a separate, independent stage of his work, the appearance of which S.-Shch. reasoned like this: “I owe the habit of writing allegorically... to the censorship department. It tormented Russian literature to such an extent that it seemed to vow to wipe it off the face of the earth. But literature persisted in its desire to live and therefore resorted to deceptive means..."
Their political tales S.-Sch. writes from 1883 to 1886. In them, the writer truthfully reflected the life of Russia, in which despotic and all-powerful landowners destroy hardworking men. A striking example was the fairy tale “The Wild Landowner,” which was written in a very sarcastic and witty manner.
Analysis of the fairy tale by S.-Shch. "Wild Landowner"
In this tale, the landowner dreamed of getting rid of the “servile spirit” in his possessions. Finally, all the men “miraculously” disappear. At first the landowner enjoys the clean air, but then the farm declines, and the landowner himself becomes completely wild, descends, and turns into an animal.
Reading the work “The Wild Landowner”, we immediately attribute it to the fairy tale genre:
- Fairytale beginning: “In a certain kingdom, in a certain state, there lived a landowner.”
- The middle “fairy-tale” formulas: “How much or how little time has passed”; "No sooner said than done…".
- Fantastic elements: “suddenly a chaff whirlwind arose and, like a black cloud, the peasant’s long trousers flew through the air”; talking bear, "swarm of men."
- Hyperbole (exaggeration): “And the earth, and the water, and the air - everything became his (the landowner’s)!”; “He thinks what kind of cows he will raise, that there is no skin, no meat, but all milk, all milk!”
The presence of fairy-tale elements does not prevent us from understanding the full depth of the conflict raised by the author in this work. This conflict is realistic and acutely social. It is connected with the political situation in Russia after the abolition of serfdom in 1861. The peasants were still largely dependent on the landowner. This is how S.-Shch describes it. their life: “He [the landowner] has reduced them so that there is nowhere to stick your nose out: no matter where you look, everything is forbidden, not allowed, and not yours! The cattle goes out to drink - the landowner shouts: “My water!”, the chicken wanders out of the outskirts - the landowner shouts: “My land!” And the earth, and the water, and the air - everything became his! There was no torch to light the man’s light, there was no rod with which to sweep out the hut.”
The landowner can be called cruel, greedy, despotic. This attitude of the landowner towards the peasants was not unique. It is no coincidence that the fairy tale mentions the newspaper “Vest”, which the landowner reads. It is its materials that he takes as a basis as a guide to action: “The landowner will look into the newspaper “Vest”, as he should do in this case, and read it.”
The newspaper "Vest" was the printed organ of a part of the nobility who were dissatisfied with the peasant reform. Many nobles saw a mistake in the fact that the legislature chose a system of peasant self-government, instead of leaving administrative power in the hands of the landowners. They believed that as a result of this the ruin of the landowners was occurring. By the way, this newspaper was published first weekly, and then daily with a circulation of 4,000 copies.
And so the landowner reads the newspaper and worries, “that the peasant is not decreasing every day, but everything is increasing,” he sees and fears: “Well, how will he take all my goods?”
So, from the very beginning we begin to perceive the image of the landowner as collective, containing the typical features of this class.
The name of a hereditary Russian nobleman is by no means Russian - prince Urus-Kuchum-Kildibaev. Before us is one of the techniques of allegory: speaking surname. This Turkic surname did not arise by chance. Only the Horde yoke can be compared with the yoke of serfs, only the enemy will come up with the idea of “reducing” the population, destroying the Russian breadwinner.
When reading a fairy tale, what catches your eye is the one most often used by the author. epithet:stupid landowner. But if in Russian folk tales Ivanushka the Fool is not a fool at all, then the landowner in S.-Shch. really stupid. After all, he does not understand the obvious: his whole life depends on the peasants. Let's see what the life of a landowner became without a hard-working man:
- Can't really receive guests.
- He cannot take care of himself (neither wash, nor dress, nor cook food).
As a result, the house and farm fell into disrepair. But, despite all this, the stupid landowner continues to stand his ground, so to speak, developing “firmness of soul” in himself. And he dreams of how he will live without peasants: “He thinks what kind of cars he will order from England, so that everything will be steam and steam, and so that there will be no servile spirit at all.”
Rice. 2. Illustration ()
If earlier he “had a soft, white and crumbly body” and “lived and rejoiced at the light,” now he is unrecognizable: “He was all overgrown with hair, from head to toe, like the ancient Esau, and his nails became like iron. He had long since stopped blowing his nose, and was walking more and more on all fours... He had even lost the ability to utter articulate sounds and had adopted some kind of special victory cry, a cross between a whistle, a hiss and a roar. But I haven’t acquired a tail yet.”
We see the complete physical and spiritual savagery of a person: “He will go out to his park, in which he once lived, his body is loose, white, crumbly, like a cat, in an instant, he will climb to the very top of the tree and guard from there. The hare will come running, stand on its hind legs and listen to see if there is any danger from somewhere - and he’ll be right there. It’s like an arrow will jump from a tree, grab onto its prey, tear it apart with its nails, and so on with all the insides, even the skin, and eat it.”
Thus, The main idea of the fairy tale was that the landowner cannot and does not know how to live without the peasant. In addition, the author wanted to show the importance of the peasantry in the economy of all of Russia. After all, the disappearance of peasants in the landowner’s domain led to sad consequences throughout the province. The police captain comes to the landowner. He is very concerned that « You can’t buy a piece of meat or a pound of bread at the market.” “The bosses became concerned and called a council. They decided: to catch the peasant and settle him, and to instill in the most delicate manner the stupid landowner, who is the instigator of all the troubles, so that he stops his fanfare and does not interfere with the receipt of taxes to the treasury.”
The tale ends with the fact that the wild landowner was caught, returned to his human form and forced to lead his former way of life. What about the peasants?
“As if on purpose, at that time a swarm of men flew through the provincial town and showered the entire market square. Now this grace has been taken away, put in a whip and sent to the district.” It is no coincidence that the peasants are shown through metaphor of a “swarm of men.” The reader immediately has an association with a swarm of bees. And as you know, a bee is a symbol of a worker. Of course, this is a grotesque image, but the bitter truth is expressed in a fantastic form. Men are likened to dumb creatures living a herd life. Shchedrin sincerely complains that the people are too patient, downtrodden and dark.
Contemporaries of S.-Sch. the satirical gift was highly valued. For example, Sofia Kovalevskaya wrote: “His name will remain in history not only as the name of the greatest pamphleteer that Russia has ever known, but also as the name of a great citizen who gave neither mercy nor rest to the oppressors of thought. Shchedrin really lived only for his time, but as Goethe said well: “Whoever lived for his time lived for all times.”
Literary theory
In fairy tales, Shchedrin proved himself to be a brilliant artist. He showed himself to be a master Aesopian language, with the help of which he knew how to convey a sharp political thought to the reader.
The expression is associated with the name of the legendary Greek fabulist Aesop, who, according to legend, lived in the 6th century BC. Aesop, being a slave, could not speak freely and openly about many things. He was forced to resort to an allegorical (allegorical) fable form of expressing his thoughts. Hence, any ability to speak or express one’s thoughts allegorically, in parables, allegories, received the name Aesopian language.
Satire (lat. satira) is a comic manifestation in art, which is a poetic denunciation of phenomena using various comic means: sarcasm, irony, hyperbole, grotesque, allegory, parody, etc.
