That flattery is vile, harmful; but everything is not for the future,

Moral of the Raven and the Fox

The moral of the fable of the Raven and the Fox is revealed to the young reader even before the moment of acquaintance with the storyline - in the first three lines: flattery is the weapon of the weak, but with its help you can win even over the strongest, because "the flatterer will always find a corner in the heart." This is the main idea of the fable.

Analysis of the Raven and the Fox fable

Ivan Andreevich Krylov is a great fabulist. And although the plots of his fables are mostly borrowed from Aesop and Lessing, only Krylov could so skillfully adapt them to the real life of a Russian person, his vices and weaknesses.

The fable of the Raven and the Fox is no exception! How vividly and emotionally the author describes a seemingly simple situation: a crow with cheese sits on a tree branch, a fox runs past and, smelling the “delicacy”, realizes that she cannot simply take the cheese away from the crow, since it is quite high , the cheat decides on a trick, in every possible way praising the black-winged bird, she achieves that she releases cheese from her beak, and it goes to the fox.

At the same time, Krylov pays special attention to describing what frankly “false” compliments the fox says to the crow and how the bird is “led” to this far-fetched praise. Thus, he mocks those who blindly believe other people's words, not correlating them with reality, condemns those who achieve victory by deceit and flattery, and warns us all against the mistakes made by both characters.

Winged expressions from the fable

“The crow croaked at the top of its throat” (equivalently “tried very hard”);
"Sing, little light, don't be ashamed!" (often used as a humorous flattering argument in an invitation to show vocal abilities);
“God sent a piece of cheese to a crow somewhere ...” (today this phrase can be found in a speech in the meaning of being lucky to find it).

Summary

Once a crow found a small piece of cheese. She sat down on a branch and got ready to have breakfast. Meanwhile, near the tree on which the crow was sitting, a fox was running. She saw the cheese and wanted to get it.

The fox began to flatter the crow and praise its magnificent beauty. Then the cheat asked the crow to sing some song with her beautiful voice. The crow was stupid and gullible. Therefore, she believed the flattery and opened her beak, wanting to sing. The cheese fell out and the fox immediately picked it up and ran away. The crow was left without cheese.

Analysis of the Fable

History of creation

One of the most famous fables of I. A. Krylov "The Crow and the Fox" was written around 1807 and first published in the January issue of the journal "Dramatic Bulletin" for 1808.

The meaning of the name

The title, uncomplicated at first glance, already contains a hint of upcoming events. The crow is a symbol of idleness and stupidity (cf. "missed"). The image of a fox is traditionally associated with cunning, dexterity, and the ability to deceive anyone. These ideas have deep roots in Russian folklore. The meeting of two fairy-tale characters will inevitably end in the crow's deception.

The main theme of the work

The main theme of the work is the condemnation of flattery.

Stupidity and a penchant for daydreaming Crows appear from the very first lines of the fable. Instead of eating a randomly found cheese, she "thought about it." The fox who ran through knows perfectly well how to deal with such gaps.

The flattery of the Fox is incredibly rude and uninventive. The crow herself knows that her appearance cannot lead anyone to admiration. But she is very pleased to imagine, at least for a moment, that she has a charming “neck”, “eyes” and “feathers”. Believing flattering speeches, Crow is already sure that her croaking is a wonderful song.

The dream ends at the most beautiful place. The deceived Crow does not cause any regret, because to succumb to such rude flattery is the pinnacle of stupidity.

Issues

The problem of the harm that flattery brings has been and will be relevant in any historical era. Almost every person is pleased when undeserved positive qualities are attributed to him. At the same time, it is easy to forget about reality and become a victim of deception by a cunning flatterer.

Composition

Morality

Krylov is not even worried about the next deception under the influence of flattery, but that this situation is repeated again and again. No one argues with the fact that "flattery is vile, harmful," but very often the most violent critics of flatterers fall into this trap. People in general often extol someone's imaginary virtues in order to obtain some benefit for themselves.

How many times have they told the world

That flattery is vile, harmful; but it's not all right,

And in the heart the flatterer will always find a corner.

Somewhere a god sent a piece of cheese to a crow;

Crow perched on the spruce,

I was quite ready to have breakfast,

Yes, I thought about it, but I kept the cheese in my mouth.

To that misfortune, the Fox ran close;

Suddenly, the cheese spirit stopped Lisa:

The fox sees the cheese, - the fox was captivated by the cheese,

The cheat approaches the tree on tiptoe;

He wags his tail, does not take his eyes off the Crow

And he says so sweetly, breathing a little:

"Darling, how pretty!

Well, what a neck, what eyes!

To tell, so, right, fairy tales!

What feathers! what a sock!

Sing, little one, don't be ashamed!

What if, sister,

With such beauty, you are a master of singing,

After all, you would be our king bird!

Veshunin's head was spinning with praise,

From joy in the goiter breath stole, -

And to Lisitsy's friendly words

The crow croaked at the top of its crow's throat:

Cheese fell out - with him there was such a cheat

The moral of the fable "The Crow and the Fox"

No one can deny the fact that almost every person wants and likes to hear only good and pleasant things about himself.

And what would seem reprehensible here when a person admires someone or makes enthusiastic speeches, extolling dignity?

The moral of the fable is this: about the danger and harm of flattering words.

The judicious author of the fable, using the example of the Fox and the Crow, teaches to be careful about people who are too kind, when communicating they say a lot of compliments. Perhaps they are pursuing their own selfish goals, thereby diverting your attention.

Analysis of the fable "The Crow and the Fox"

The character of the main characters is obvious.

The fox is a beauty: cunning, smart and deceitful, willing to flatter. She is also very smart and resourceful.

The crow, on the contrary, is stupid, gullible, short-sighted. She believed the flattering words of the fox and croaked, but she did not know how to sing. And she also could not boast of an angelic voice. However, how much she liked the praise of the fox, that her head was spinning and the crow could not resist, she tried to sing ...

The cheese fell out - the fox got a tidbit and was like that.

The contradiction of morality with the text is the main contradiction of this fable.

The moral states that flattering is not good, but the fox is the winner thanks to his playfulness and wit. And the foolish, stupid crow was left with nothing.
