Essay on the topic “Good and evil in the fairy tale G. Good and evil in the fairy tale The Snow Queen (Andersen H. K.) Hans Christian Andersen without cuts of atheistic censorship
Hans Christian Andersen is a famous Danish storyteller who wrote many wonderful works. One of the favorite fairy tales for many children is “The Snow Queen”. They love her because the main character is a simple girl Gerda, and not a fairy-tale princess; because in the fairy tale evil forces appear in the form of the beautiful but cold Snow Queen and the evil and treacherous troll.
Good and evil are the two forces that oppose each other in any fairy tale. "The Snow Queen" is no exception. But the heroes speaking on both sides are not at all the same as in other works of this genre. The forces of good are personified, first of all, by Gerda, a brave girl who opposed the Snow Queen herself, powerful and invincible. No force could resist the cold look, much less the kiss of the sorceress. But Gerda’s kindness and courage attracts both people and animals to her side.
Going in search of her sworn brother Kai, Gerda had no idea what difficulties she would have to face, how many dangers awaited her along the way. But she believes that she can overcome any obstacles, just to bring her beloved brother home, to save him from the hands of the cruel queen, who brings death to all living things. And that’s why everyone is trying to help Gerda. Only an old woman who knows how to cast magic tries to stop the girl. But she is driven by the desire to keep Gerda with her, because the old woman had no children.
The prince and princess, having learned the story of Gerda and Kai, were so moved that they pardoned Raven and his bride. And Gerda was given a golden carriage, warm clothes and escorted to the borders of the kingdom. The daughter of the evil robber was so amazed by the courage of the little girl who overcame so many obstacles, but did not stop halfway, that she let Gerda go. In addition, she returned her things and sent her favorite toy, a reindeer, away with her.
The little robber originally belonged to the forces of evil. But Gerda amazed her with her dedication. The robber realized that in addition to evil in the world, there is also love, loyalty, and self-sacrifice. And this did not leave her indifferent. She no longer listened to her mother. The little robber learned the other side of life.
But the greatest evil was the troll, who created a magic mirror that distorts everything beautiful in the world. And, of course, the Snow Queen, from whose gaze every living thing died. But these forces are not capable of killing love. Gerda entered the palace of the Snow Queen. Her hot tears melted pieces of the ice mirror in Kai's heart. Before great love, the power of the cold sorceress dried up. She could not defeat this feeling, because goodness always carries within itself all-conquering love.
Hans Christian Andersen is one of the great personalities of this world. After all, it is he who owns the excellent creation - the fairy tale “The Snow Queen”. This fairy tale is not like many others that describe the lives of princesses and princes. But here there is a main struggle, inherent in almost all fairy tales, between good and evil.
The little girl Gerda is on the side of good. She grew up in the simplest family.
She has a very big and open heart. This can be understood because she, overcoming difficult trials, goes to the aid of her younger brother Kai, who finds himself in the hands of the evil Snow Queen. On her way, the girl encounters many difficulties. She meets evil people. But when they met this girl, their hearts changed and they were filled with love.
Gerda was able to get into the ice mansion of the Snow Queen. And with her tears she was able to melt the ice in her brother’s heart. This girl, despite her small age, had the greatest strength. And the name of this force is Love.
Love in our time is the most important thing that can be. After all, good cannot exist without love. And only together these two best human traits can defeat even the most terrible evil.

During the classes
Organizing time
Call stage.
In order to determine the topic of our lesson, I suggest you collect two “shard pictures”.
(Pictures “mirror” and “rose”. Students work in pairs).
Look at the pictures you got. What do these two objects represent in the fairy tale? Read the epigraph to the lesson and tell me what will be the subject of our conversation?
Andersen taught me a bright faith in victory
sun over darkness and a kind human heart
over the evil...
K. Paustovsky
Yes, today we will talk about the struggle between good and evil in the fairy tale by H.K. Andersen's "The Snow Queen". (Slide No. 2)
2 . Content comprehension stage.
What is good and what is evil in your understanding?
We read in the dictionary of S.I. Ozhegova (Slide No. 3)
Good – everything positive, good, useful.
Evil is something bad, harmful.
Who is the bearer of evil in the fairy tale?
(The Troll who invented the mirror and the Snow Queen)
And who resists these evil forces?
(Gerda and her assistants who met along the way).
Problematic question: Why did the small, fragile Gerda turn out to be stronger than the formidable Snow Queen? What is her strength?
- Let's compare them. Think about whether there is anything in common between Gerda and the Snow Queen? What about the differences?
1. To do this, let’s do a little research work. Your task: compare the appearance of Gerda and the Snow Queen and draw a conclusion.
- If eyes are the mirror of the soul, then what can we say about the Snow Queen?
(She has no soul)
Made of ice, dazzling white (cold) – golden glow (warmth)
The eyes shone like stars (cold) - the face was sweet, welcoming, like a rose (warm).
3. To better understand and feel the world of the Snow Queen and the world of Gerda, let's look at the illustrations of the modern British artist Christian Birmingham. (Slide No. 4-10)
Which artist depicted the Snow Queen?
(He saw her through the eyes of Kai ( “she was lovely and gentle”).
And what does her beauty mean?
Conclusion: Beauty is not always kind. Andersen makes us think about what makes a person truly beautiful.
4. What is the world of the Snow Queen like? What actions does she perform? Does she love anyone? Does the word “love” apply to her?
(« Howcold as deserted was in these white, brightly lit palaces! Fun never came here!..Cold, deserted, dead! )
What was happening in nature when the Snow Queen rode by on her sleigh? What artistic techniques does the author use?
(« The storm howled and moaned as if she was singing old songs; they flew over forests and lakes, over seas and solid land; there was a breeze underneath themcold winds, wolves howled , the snow sparkled, they flew screamingblack crows , and a big clear moon shone above them!”
The forest pigeons told Gerda: “They flew over the forest when we, the chicks, were still lying in the nest; she breathed on us and that's itdied except the two of us").
Kiss of the Snow Queen - "I'll kiss youto death ».
What associations do you have with the world of the Snow Queen?
Conclusion: The world of the Snow Queen is evil, death, cold, snow, lifelessness, cruelty, hatred, selfishness.
5. Now let’s continue our acquaintance with Christian Birmingham’s illustrations and see how the artist saw Gerda?
What world does she live in?
(Slide – 11-18)
6. What associations do you have with the world of Gerda?
Write down your associations. Read it.
Conclusion: Gerda's world is kindness, warmth, love, friendship, joy, tears, roses, fidelity, devotion, faith, selflessness, perseverance, self-sacrifice.
What motivates Gerda when she decides to go in search of Kai? What gives her strength?
(Love! She misses you very much: “Many tears were shed; Gerda cried bitterly and for a long time”)
So, Gerda sets off on a journey where many trials await her. Let's go with her too on the road to goodness and let's see what love can do!
7. Task “Logical chains”. Restore the sequence of events.
(Slide No. 19).
8. We will depict Gerda's path in the form of a circle.(Slide number 20)
And this is no coincidence. And why, you will try to answer at the end of the lesson.
Who does Gerda meet during her journey?
1. Old sorceress. Is she good or evil? Who does the dear old lady remind you of?
(“She took Gerda by the hand, took her to her house andlocked the door with a key" ).
Conclusion: And again we are convinced that Evil sometimes puts on the mask of Good, and then it is difficult to recognize him.
How was Gerda able to escape from the captivity of the old woman? How did she deal with evil?
(Her heart haunted her)
«… I wished the girl well and asked her where she was wandering around the world alone?
“My bride sends you a thousand bows and this little bread.”
Raven and his bride help Gerda enter the palace of the Prince and Princess.
3. Prince and Princess.
They are kind? How do they help the girl?
(“She was given shoes, and a muff, and a wonderful dress,” a golden carriage, which “was chock full of sugar pretzels, and a box under the seat with fruit and gingerbread.”
Did the meeting with the kind, selfless girl Gerda somehow influence them?
(They also wanted to do something good: they pardoned and wanted to reward the crows - they offered them to become free birds or take the position of court crows; they were very kind to Gerda).
4. Little robber.
What forces does it belong to - good or evil?
Why has the little robber changed?
(Gerda melted her heart with her story and tears. The robber realized that, in addition to evil, there also exists love, loyalty, and self-sacrifice).
What good did you do?
(I let Gerda go, returned her things, and most importantly, let her beloved reindeer go with her)
Conclusion: This means that good begets good. We see how Gerda's goodness is passed on to those she meets, passed around and returned to her, making her stronger. And during her difficult journey she herself understands “how kind all people and animals are!”
5. Lapland and Finnish. On Gerda's path, she meets two more kind people - a Laplander and a Finnish woman. Both are trying to help her.
The reindeer asks the Finnish woman to give the girl the strength of 12 heroes. And then she will defeat the Snow Queen. What did the Finnish woman answer?
(“I can’t make her stronger than she is. Don’t you see how great her strength is? Don’t you see that both people and animals serve her? After all, she walked halfway around the world barefoot! But she shouldn’t find out from usabout her strength that lives in her heart ; her strength is that she is an innocent, sweet child.")
6. The path to the palace of the Snow Queen.
What did the girl have to overcome?
(“Alone in the bitter cold, without shoes, without mittens”).
How did Gerda cope with the forces of evil on the outskirts of the Snow Queen's castle (advanced detachments of the Snow Queen's army)?
(Faith helped her; she read the prayer “Our Father...”)
7. At the Snow Queen's.
How did Gerda find Kai? How was she able to bring him back to life?
(Reading by roles from words “She freely entered the huge deserted ice hall to the words "became vigorous and healthy").
(“Gerda began to cry; hot tears fell on his chest, penetrated his heart, melted his icy crust and melted the fragment.”
“Gerda kissed Kai on both cheeks, and they bloomed like roses again.”
Conclusion: So, Gerda defeated the forces of Evil. Kai and Gerda returned home happy. (Last point in the circle).
3. Reflection stage.
1. Creative work. Sinkwine (according to options).
Example option:
Gerda
Loving, persistent
Loves, seeks, fights
Love can overcome anything.
The Snow Queen
Cold, angry
Freezes, kills
Evil always destroys and kills.
And our path of Good has ended, the circle has closed!
Why do you think we depicted Gerda’s path, the path of Good, in the shape of a circle?
- The poet Marina Tsvetaeva wrote about this in her poem:
Still, do not weaken your soul,
When the time comes for testing -
Humanity is alive alone
A mutual guarantee of goodness!(Slide No. 21)
- Why did Gerda defeat the Snow Queen and defeat the forces of evil? What is her strength?
(Before great love, the power of the cold sorceress dried up. Good always carries within itself all-conquering love.)
Summarizing. Making marks.
D. z. To choose from:
1. Letter to Gerda or the Snow Queen.

classmates for...
- And I want to say thank you, my students, for the confidential conversation, for your creativity, for your kind, smart thoughts!
Today we are convinced once again that the path to kindness is not an easy, long path on which a person faces ups and downs, alternating good and evil. And we are also convinced that kindness is strength. Don’t be afraid to be strong, don’t get tired of doing good, and it will definitely come back to you!
I want you to start every new day of your life with a kind smile and a good mood. Let's follow the laws of kindness, believe in the victory of the good human heart over the evil one. Let us join hands in a “mutual guarantee of goodness” and finally understand that the willingness to give others a piece of our warmth, care, and attention is real happiness.
Performance of the song “On the Road of Goodness”
Ask strict life which way to go,
Where in the world should you go in the morning?
Follow the sun, even though this path is unknown,
Go, my friend, always follow the path of goodness.
Forget your worries, ups and downs,
Don't whine when fate doesn't behave like a sister.
But if things are bad with a friend, don’t rely on a miracle,
Hurry to him, always follow the path of goodness.
Oh, how many different doubts and temptations there will be,
Don't forget that this life is not child's play.
Drive away temptations, learn the unspoken law:
Go, my friend, always follow the path of goodness.
Drive away temptations, learn the unspoken law,
Go, my friend, always follow the path of goodness.

Does the Snow Queen represent good or evil? (We put it in the “evil” group.) 2) And the old witch?
She listened to the girl, felt sorry for her, and took her to her place. But she locked the doors. The room was illuminated with a bright, rainbow light, Gerda was eating cherries, and the old woman was combing her hair with a golden comb. But Gerda forgot Kai. The old woman was not an evil witch and only cast spells occasionally, for her own pleasure. But I decided to keep the girl with me.
What is more in it, GOOD or EVIL?
Describe the old lady. (Closes the door, doesn’t want to let the girl go, she cast a spell, although she knows that Gerda is looking for Kai, and maybe he will die without her, the old woman thinks only about herself, she is selfish, this is evil).
7. Competition “Picture Gallery” 1) Biographies of artists.
Nika Georgievna Golts(born 1925) was born in Moscow in the family of an architect. She graduated from the Moscow Secondary Art School, then from the Art Institute. She worked at the publishing houses “Children’s Literature” and “Fiction”. Throughout his long life, N. Goltz drew fairy tales. In 2002, the EKSMO-Press publishing house published the book “The Snow Queen” with new illustrations by the artist.
Boris Arkadyevich Diodorov(born 1934) - People's Artist of Russia, was awarded medals for his work, including the Andersen gold medal. He became famous after the publication of the books “Nils’s Wonderful Journey with the Wild Geese”, “Winnie the Pooh”, “Sivka the Burka”, “The Snow Queen”, “The Little Mermaid” and many others. etc.
2) Look at the illustrations for the fairy tale “The Snow Queen”. The first team – illustration by N. Golts. The second team is an illustration by B. Diodorov.
The illustration by N. Golts is bright, red and its shades predominate in it. It seems as if nothing should dampen the mood. But what objects indicate that not everything is good here, there is witchcraft. (Dried flowers in vases.)
At first glance, B. Diodorov’s illustration seems joyful, because there are so many flowers and fruits around. But what conveys an anxious mood? (Black and white colors.)
The artists were able to convey that the old woman was not at all kind.
8. Competition "Children". What place do children occupy among “good” and “evil”? Gerda? Kai? Little robber?( helped Gerda )
Why do mirror fragments hit Kai and not Gerda?( he didn't learn the prayers well )
What good forces helped Gerda? ( appeal to God, Christ )
Summarize. What is H. C. Andersen's fairy tale about? What is the main idea of the fairy tale?
