The beginning of a fairy tale, a tale and an ending

The beginnings of a fairy tale, a hint, an epic chant, a prayerful introduction, an ending are parts that are part of the structure of a folklore work. They should be distinguished from each other. The complex composition of folk tales is not accidental. Each of the parts in them plays a role.

What is a hint

Most fairy tales, especially magical ones, begin with a story. Due to its existence, the listener gradually sinks into a special world and thus prepares to perceive the entire literary work.

Reading or listening to the story, both the child and the adult in their imagination create the image of the Banyun cat, they see an island in the middle of the ocean, on it rises a mighty oak with golden chains and a mysterious chest on mighty branches, in the distance one sees the city from an unknown kingdom-state.

The peculiarity of the story is that the beginning of a fairy tale, despite its small size (sometimes just a few words), can immediately immerse the reader in a world of magic and magic. And this is very important, because a person is determined not only to enjoy the read, but also to comprehend the deep folk wisdom that is contained in the content of the fairy tale. And without a special attitude to achieve this can be very difficult.

Very often the sentence has a humorous character with elements of confusion, gibberish, confusion, word games. Thanks to this method, it is possible to avoid excessive edification, but at the same time to preserve the educational role of the work.

Functions

To fully understand what the beginning of a fairy tale is, you need to understand its purpose. It consists in performing several tasks at once:

• Acquaint the reader with the main characters of the fairy-tale work;
• Tell about the time of the described action;
• Give an idea of the place where events occur.

Young readers should understand that the beginning of a fairy tale is very important. Already at the very beginning of the work you can get a lot of information, which in the future will help to fully understand the image of the characters, their characters and deeds.

The beginning of a fairy tale will necessarily indicate that the language of the work to be read with is completely different from everyday speech. An example of this can be the following expressions: "in a certain kingdom, in a certain state", "golden poppy", "there is a tree", "a fairy tale affects", "sea-ochiyan" and many other "fairy" words.

The beginning of fairy tales, their variety

The causes of fairy tales and endings are of great variety, they are distinguished by structure, language, semantic content. Only 36% of folklore works have a traditional beginning. It is known to every person who has been brought up on the traditions of Russian folk art. From early childhood, when a child is told a fairy tale, he hears these words: "Once upon a time ..." In all, when describing fairy tales, at least nine varieties of beasts are used.

Ending

"So the tale ends, and who listened - well done!" - the traditional form of the ending of many folk tales. In addition to this example, there are at least five other variants with which the storyteller can finish the story told by him. Knowing what the beginning of a fairy tale is and what it is used for, it is not difficult to guess why the ending is used. Fairy-tale actions must be brought to a logical conclusion. This helps to make a competently composed ending of the work. For example, the storyteller can finish the narrative thus: "They live, live and make good money!", "It often happens!", "They live, they chew bread!". Sometimes the narrator can finish the tale quite unexpectedly, but he must remember that the ending sums up all that has been said.

Other features of the structure of folklore

A story, the opening of a fairy tale, its main part, the ending can contain repetitions. Each new repetition is somewhat different from the previous one, and thanks to this the reader can guess how the whole narrative will end.

In the structure of folk tales, the poetic parts naturally fit into the composition, which gives the work a musicality, tunes the reader to a special poetic wave.

The verses used by the storyteller have their own characteristics. A great interest in readers is caused by fabulous narratives, completely written in such a verse. Literators call it fantastic.

In the process of presenting the contents of a fairy tale, the narrator sometimes has to not only speak, but even sing, since the characters often use this form of communication among themselves. Suffice it to recall the fairy tale "Sister Alenushka and Brother Ivanushka", "Cat, Rooster and Fox," "Wolf and the Seven Goats" and others.

Onomatopoeia, a living dialogue between the heroes of the fairy tale, epithets, comparisons, hyperboles make the works of folk art vivid and inimitable. It's not for nothing that Russian fairy tales like everything from small to large: in folklore there is not only wisdom, but also the true beauty of the Russian word.
