What a snow white. Did Snow White really die at the hands of her stepmother: who was the prototype of the fairy-tale heroine

Who smiles and laughs for us in heaven so that we imitate him. Therefore, the Lord teaches that we need to look for reasons for joy, happiness and Have a good mood. Unlike competitors, who teach to look for suffering, worry and look for reasons for unnecessary worries, discomfort and suffering. I can say a lot in confirmation of this, but to make it shorter, I will at least cite this page as confirmation -.

A The best way for this it is to love and do good :)

You can, of course, use other means for this... such as alcohol and maybe some drugs... But in order to receive pleasure and joy from them, you must first suffer. So that there is something wrong in life. And, perhaps, most of it was filled with heaviness in the soul, pain or suffering. In addition, you will have to suffer from this in the future because it is both beneficial and harmful, and then it may happen that without this you will no longer be able to enjoy life. And you will suffer from illnesses because of this. Therefore, it is unlikely that anyone will consciously want this option... if you understand why people drink. But some have made so many mistakes because of Jesus Christ and his gangs that for them this is the only option to be in a godly mood, to get rid of the constantly appearing pain or heaviness in their souls, which does not allow them to close their lips from laughing and smiling. Our church does not condemn them. But you just don’t need to imitate them in this. And think that it’s somehow fashionable and cool. Unhappy people with whom you can only sympathize. And you just need to understand why they use such substances and they like it. All this becomes a problem because people do it because others do it. Out of habit, out of tradition, because it is necessary or right, etc. And not because we want, as the demons teach. And the problems actually start because we do what we don't want. And not because we do what we want. Like the movie "Me and Others". In short. ( , ).

And so the competing churches seem to be fighting with this, against this. But they teach in such a way that they want to, calling it all pleasure, for example, and so that they like it (because it is suffering). And Hankoslavie is the opposite. It's possible, not bad. But he teaches in such a way that you don’t want to and don’t give pleasure.

Do you think the story about the fact that Jesus Christ sacrificed for us is just made up and is told all the time? :) No, so as not to noticeably and gradually make everyone the same victims, martyrs like him and the Christian saints (). So that they endure, humble themselves and suffer AND LIKE IT! (). So that you can do whatever you want to people with complete impunity.

The same applies to all kinds of perversions. You just need to understand the mechanism. I reveal the cause-and-effect relationship of these mental disorders on the corresponding pages (,). In fact, homosexuality is a new world religion that they are trying to impose on us in order to make us weak, to teach us to give up, so that in this way any nonsense can be imposed and turn people into biorobots.

In essence, religion is programming and with their help you can instill in society any thought and impose anything... Why do you talk about this all the time? Because this is my religion. My religion teaches this. This is sacred.

Not very good and complete yet, but I made and posted a video about it on my YouTube channel. You can look there to find out and understand what is happening and why in more detail - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrWIsxpjKdgz5M-rdWYf00_8Pg1EM_Kc6.

I could say a lot more, but I don’t want there to be a lot of text.

But it is important for everyone to know that according to Hankoslavia, those who smile little and rarely laugh in this world go to Hell. The revelation of this truth was given to me by the Lord while I was writing the article. And the best way to do this is to Love and do good.

Therefore, I ask you to tell all your friends, acquaintances and strangers about Hank. So that they too will be saved for the kingdom of heaven and go to heaven. And they also saved their brains from false gods who actually serve the Devil, even though they say they are God.

The fairy tale "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is interesting story O beautiful girl. Her stepmother was very jealous of her stepdaughter's beauty. And often the stepmother asked the magic mirror: “Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who is the most beautiful in the whole country?” But the mirror kept telling her that Snow White was a thousand times more beautiful.

The stepmother could not stand it and sent Snow White into the forest to certain death. But there Snow White met a good seven dwarfs and began to live with them. No matter how hard the evil queen tried to kill Snow White, she failed. Snow White was saved by the king's son. And they got married.

This fairy tale teaches us to live honestly, without causing harm to other people, to be hardworking and to do good. Good wins and saves, removes from evil and helps in life those who are sincere and good-natured.

Fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs read:

On a winter day, while the snow was falling in flakes, the queen sat alone and sewed under the window, which had an ebony frame. She sewed and looked at the snow, and pricked her finger with a needle until it bled.

And the queen thought to herself: “Oh, if only I had a child white as snow, ruddy as blood, and black as ebony

And soon her wish was definitely fulfilled: her daughter was born - white as snow, ruddy as blood, and black-haired; and was named Snow White for her whiteness.

And as soon as the daughter was born, the queen mother died. A year later, the king married someone else.

This second wife of his was a beauty, but she was also proud and arrogant, and could not tolerate that anyone could equal her in beauty.

Moreover, she had this magic mirror, in front of whom she loved to stand, admired herself and used to say:

Then the mirror answered her:

You, queen, are dearer than everyone here.

And she walked away from the mirror, happy and satisfied, and knew that the mirror would not tell her a lie.

Meanwhile, Snow White grew up and became more beautiful, and already in her eighth year she was as beautiful as a clear day.

All the surrounding residents marveled at her beauty and kindness as she walked and played on the lawns near the castle.

And when the queen once asked the mirror:

Mirror, mirror, say quickly,
Who is the most beautiful here, who is the cutest?

The mirror answered her:

You, queen, are beautiful;
But Snow White is still more beautiful.

The queen was horrified, turned yellow and green with envy. From the hour she used to see Snow White, her heart was ready to burst into pieces out of anger.

And envy and pride, like weeds, began to grow in her heart and grow wider and wider, so that finally she had no peace day or night.

And then one day she called her huntsman and said:

Take this girl out into the forest so that she doesn’t come into my sight again. Kill her and, as proof that my order has been carried out, bring me her lung and liver.


The huntsman obeyed, led the girl out of the palace into the forest, and as he took out his hunting knife to pierce the innocent heart of Snow White, she began to cry and ask:

Good man, do not kill me; I'll run away to dense forest and I will never return home.

The huntsman took pity on the pretty girl and said:

Well, go ahead. God be with you, poor girl!

And I thought to myself: “They’ll soon tear you to pieces in the forest.” wild animals“- and yet it was as if a stone had been lifted from his heart when he spared the child.

Just at this time a young deer jumped out of the bushes; the huntsman pinned him, took out his lung and liver and brought them to the queen as proof that her order had been carried out.

The cook was ordered to salt and cook them, and the evil woman ate them, imagining that she was eating Snow White’s lung and liver.

And so the poor thing found herself alone in a dense forest, and she became so scared that she examined every leaf on the trees, and did not know what to do and what to do.

And she started to run, and ran over sharp stones and thorny bushes, and animals scurried past her back and forth, but did not cause her any harm.

When Snow White sat down to rest, the forest animals played with her cheerfully and told her which way to go next.


Everything in this hut was small, but so clean and beautiful that it was impossible to say.

In the middle of the hut there was a table with seven small plates, and on each plate there was a spoon, and then seven knives and forks, and with each utensil there was a glass. Near the table there were seven little beds in a row, covered with snow-white bed linen.

Snow White, who was very hungry and thirsty, tasted vegetables and bread from each plate and drank a drop of wine from each glass, because she did not want to take everything away from one.

Then, tired from walking, she tried to lie down on one of the beds; but not a single one suited her; one was too long, the other was too short, and only the seventh was just right for her. She lay down in it and fell asleep.

And in this house lived kind, cheerful gnomes.

When it became completely dark, its owners came to the hut - seven gnomes who were rummaging in the mountains, mining ore.

They lit their seven candles, and when it became light in the hut, they saw that someone had visited them, because not everything was in the order in which they had left everything in their home.


The first one said:

Who was sitting on my chair?

Who ate my plate?

Who broke off a piece of my bread?

Fourth:

Who tasted my food?

Who ate my fork?

Sixth: - Who cut me with my knife?

Who drank from my glass?

Then the first one turned around and saw that there was a small fold on his bed; he immediately said:

Who touched my bed?

Everyone else ran to the beds and shouted:

Someone was lying in mine, and in mine too!

And the seventh, looking into his bed, saw Snow White lying in it sleeping. He called the others, and they came running and began to exclaim in amazement, and brought their seven candles to the crib to illuminate Snow White.

Oh my god! - they exclaimed. - How beautiful this little one is! - and everyone was so happy about her arrival that they did not dare to wake her up, and left her alone on that bed.

And the seventh gnome decided to spend the night like this: in the crib of each of his comrades he had to sleep for one hour.

When morning came, Snow White woke up and, seeing seven dwarfs, got scared. They treated her very kindly and asked her:

What is your name?


“My name is Snow White,” she answered.

How did you get into our house? - the gnomes asked her.

Then she told them that her stepmother had ordered to kill her, but the huntsman spared her - and so she ran all day until she came across their hut.

The gnomes told her:

Would you like to look after our household chores - cook, do our laundry, make our beds, sew and knit?

And if you do all this skillfully and neatly, then you can stay with us for a long time and will not lack anything.

If you please,” answered Snow White, “with great pleasure.”

And she stayed with them to live.

She kept the dwarves' house in great order; in the morning they usually went into the mountains in search of copper and gold.


And Snow White worked at home around the house - fetching water, putting things in order, preparing food.

In the evening, after working in the mountains, the gnomes returned to their hut, and then food was always ready for them.

After dinner the dwarfs and Snow White played funny Games, sang and danced.

Sometimes Snow White and the gnomes went into the forest to take a walk, have fun, pick mushrooms and berries, and play with the forest animals, with whom Snow White and the gnomes were friends.


When the dwarfs went to work in the morning, Snow White remained alone in the house all day.

That’s why the good gnomes warned her every time before leaving and said:

Beware of your stepmother! She will soon find out where you are, so don’t let anyone into the house but us.

And the queen stepmother, after she ate Snow White’s lung and liver, suggested that she was now the first beauty in the whole country, and said:

Mirror, mirror, say quickly,
Who is the most beautiful here, who is the cutest?

Then the mirror answered her:

You, queen, are beautiful,

The Queen was afraid; she knew that the mirror never lied, and she realized that the hound had deceived her and that Snow White was alive.

And she began to think about how she could get rid of her stepdaughter, because envy haunted her and she certainly wanted to be the first beauty in the whole country.


When she finally came up with something, she painted her face, dressed as an old merchant and became completely unrecognizable.

In this form, she set off on a journey beyond the seven mountains to the hut of the seven dwarfs, knocked on their door and shouted:

The goods are different, cheap, for sale!

Snow White looked out of the window and shouted to the merchant:

Hello, auntie, what are you selling?

“Good goods, of the first quality,” answered the merchant, “laces, multi-colored ribbons,” and she pulled out one lace woven from colorful silk for display.

“Well, of course, I can let this merchant in here,” thought Snow White, unlocked the door and bought herself a beautiful cord.

“Uh, child,” the old woman said to Snow White, “who do you look like!” Come here, let yourself be laced properly!

Snow White did not assume anything bad, turned her back to the old woman and let her lace herself with a new lace: she laced herself quickly and so tightly that Snow White immediately lost her breath and she fell to the ground dead.

Well, now you will no longer be the first beauty! - said evil stepmother and left hastily.

Soon after, in the evening, the seven dwarves returned home and were so frightened when they saw Snow White stretched out on the ground; Moreover, she did not move or move, she was as if dead.

They lifted her up and, seeing that she had died from lacing too tightly, they immediately cut the lace, and she began to breathe again, at first little by little, and then came to life completely.

When the dwarves heard from her what had happened to her, they said:

This old merchant was your stepmother, the godless queen; Be careful and don’t let anyone into the house in our absence.

And the evil woman, returning home, approached the mirror and asked:

Mirror, mirror, say quickly,
Who is the most beautiful here, who is the cutest?

And the mirror still answered her:

You, queen, are beautiful,
But still Snow White is behind the mountain

Lives in the house of the mountain gnomes,
Many will surpass you in beauty.

Hearing this, the evil stepmother was so frightened that all her blood rushed to her heart: she realized that Snow White had come to life again.

Well, now,” she said, “I’ll come up with something that will finish you off right away!” - and with the help of various charms in which she was skilled, she made a poisonous comb.

Then she changed clothes and took on the image of another old woman.

She went over the seven mountains to the house of the seven dwarves, knocked on their door and began to shout:

Goods, goods for sale!

Snow White looked out of the window and said:

Come in, I don’t dare let anyone into the house.

Well, it’s probably not forbidden for you to look at the goods,” said the old woman, pulled out a poisonous comb and showed it to Snow White.

The girl liked the comb so much that she opened the door to the merchant.

When they agreed on the price, the old woman said:

Let me comb your hair properly.

Nothing bad even occurred to poor Snow White, and she gave the old woman complete freedom to comb her hair as she pleased; but as soon as she put the comb in her hair, its poisonous properties took effect, and Snow White lost consciousness.

Come on, you perfection of beauty! - said the evil woman. “Now I’m done with you,” and she walked away.

Fortunately, this happened in the evening, when the dwarves were returning home.

When they saw that Snow White was lying dead on the ground, they immediately suspected the stepmother, began to search and found a poisonous comb in the girl’s hair, and as soon as they took it out.

Snow White came to her senses and told everything that happened to her. Then they once again warned her to be careful and not open the door to anyone.

And again the life of Snow White and the dwarves continued as before. But before leaving for work in the mountains, the gnomes began to check every time that everything was well locked. After all, no evil queen could penetrate through the locked doors of the magic gnomes' house.

Meanwhile, the queen, having returned home, stood in front of the mirror and said:

Mirror, mirror, say quickly,
Who is the most beautiful here, who is the cutest?

And the mirror answered her, as before:

You, queen, are beautiful,
But still Snow White is behind the mountain
Lives in the house of the mountain gnomes,
Many will surpass you in beauty.

When the queen heard this, she trembled with rage.

Snow White must die! - she exclaimed. - Even if I had to die with her!

Then she retired to a secret room, into which no one but her entered, and there she prepared a terrible poison.

Then I made a poisonous, poisonous apple. In appearance, the apple was wonderful, plump, with ruddy barrels, so that everyone, looking at it, wanted to taste it, but just take a bite and you will die.

When the apple was made, the queen painted her face, dressed as a peasant and went over the seven mountains to the seven dwarves.

She knocked at their house, and Snow White stuck her head out the window and said:

I don’t dare let anyone in here, the seven dwarves forbade me to do so.

What do I care about that? - answered the peasant woman. - Where can I go with my apples? Here's one thing I think I'll give you as a gift.


No,” answered Snow White, “I dare not accept anything.”

Aren't you afraid of poison? - asked the peasant woman. - So, look, I’ll cut the apple in half: you can eat the rosy half, and I’ll eat the other half myself.

And her apple was so skillfully prepared that only the rosy half of it was poisoned.

Snow White really wanted to taste this wonderful apple, and when she saw that the peasant woman was eating her half, she could no longer resist this desire, stretched out her hand from the window and took the poisoned half of the apple.

But as soon as she took a bite of it, she fell dead on the floor. Then the queen stepmother looked at her with malicious eyes, laughed loudly and said:

Here you are, white as snow, and blush as blood, and black as ebony! Well, this time the gnomes won’t be able to revive you!

And when she came home, she stood in front of the mirror and asked:

Mirror, mirror, say quickly,
Who is the most beautiful here, who is the cutest? —

The mirror finally answered her:

You, queen, are the cutest here.

Only then did her envious heart calm down, as far as an envious heart can calm down.

The dwarves, returning home in the evening, found Snow White stretched out on the floor, lifeless, dead.

They raised her, began to look for the cause of her death - they looked for poison, unlaced her dress, combed her hair, washed her with water and wine; however, nothing could help her. Snow White was dead and remained dead.


They put her in a coffin and, all seven of them sitting around her body, began to mourn and mourned for exactly three days in a row.

They were already planning to bury her, but she seemed fresh in appearance, as if alive, even her cheeks glowed with the same wonderful blush.

The dwarves said:

No, we cannot lower it into the dark depths of the earth.

And they ordered another, transparent crystal coffin for her, put Snow White in it, so that she could be seen from all sides, and on the lid they wrote her name in gold letters and that she was the king's daughter.

Then they carried the coffin to the top of the mountain, and one of the dwarves remained with it constantly on guard.

And even animals, even birds, approaching the coffin, mourned Snow White: first an owl flew in, then a raven and finally a dove.

And for a long, long time Snow White lay in the coffin and did not change, and seemed as if sleeping, and was still white as snow, blush as blood, black as ebony.

It happened one day that the king’s son drove into that forest and drove up to the dwarves’ house, intending to spend the night there. He saw the coffin on the mountain and the beautiful Snow White in the coffin and read what was written on the lid of the coffin in gold letters.


Then he said to the dwarves:

Give me the coffin, I will give you whatever you want for it.

But the little people answered:

We won't give it up for all the gold in the world.

But the prince did not retreat:

So give it to me, I can’t get enough of Snow White: it seems that life wouldn’t be nice to me without her! Give it as a gift - and I will honor and appreciate her as a dear friend!

The good gnomes took pity on hearing such a hot speech from the lips of the prince, and gave him Snow White’s coffin.

The prince ordered his servants to carry the coffin on their shoulders. They carried him and tripped over some twig, and from this shock the piece of poisoned apple that she had bitten jumped out of Snow White’s throat.

As a piece of apple jumped out, she opened her eyes, lifted the lid of the coffin, and she herself stood up in it, alive and well.

My God! Where am I? - she exclaimed.

The prince said joyfully:

Snow White agreed. The gnomes and all the forest animals had a big celebration.


Then Snow White and the prince went to the prince's castle, which was located nearby.

Their wedding was celebrated with great splendor and splendor.

Snow White's evil stepmother was also invited to this celebration. As soon as she dressed up for the wedding, she stood in front of the mirror and said:

Mirror, mirror, say quickly,
Who is the most beautiful here, who is the cutest?

But the mirror answered:

You, queen, are beautiful,
But the newlywed is still more beautiful.

The evil woman, hearing this, said terrible curse, and then suddenly she became so scared, so scared that she couldn’t control herself.

At first she didn’t want to go to the wedding at all, but she couldn’t calm down and went to see the young queen.

As soon as she crossed the threshold of the wedding chamber, she recognized the queen as Snow White. Out of anger, the heart of the cruel queen-stepmother stopped, and she died. Only no one regretted this.

Since then, Snow White and the prince lived happily and joyfully, and no one interfered with their happiness.

Sometimes Snow White and the prince, together with their children, went to visit the gnomes or invited them to their place - after all, they became such close friends.

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is one of the best fairy tale stories created in the 19th century. Who wrote the fairy tale "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"? These were Wilhelm and German linguists who wrote fairy tales in their free time from their main work. Many of the brothers' works are known all over the world, such as " Brave Little Tailor", "Hansel and Gretel", "The Musicians of Bremen". Among these stories, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", published in Germany in 1812, occupies a special place.

Queen

On a winter day, the queen was sitting by the window, doing needlework, and suddenly pricked her finger with a needle. A drop of blood appeared. She looked out the window and wanted to give birth to a child, white as snow, red as blood, with hair as black as pitch. Soon this happened, the queen gave birth to a daughter - white, ruddy, black-haired. But the problem is that a woman died during childbirth. The king grieved, and a year later he married another woman.

Stepmom and stepdaughter

Disliked new wife the king's daughter, the beautiful Snow White.

The authors presented the classic plot of the confrontation between an unkind stepmother and an unloved stepdaughter as a temporary triumph of hatred over innocence with the inevitable destruction of evil forces at the end of the story. This is how I was born the main idea fairy tales "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". It is that good must triumph sooner or later.

The Brothers Grimm worked on a dictionary German language, when they came up with the idea of ​​writing the fairy tale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” the main idea of ​​which was to overcome the difficulties that befell the princess. Her natural kindness helped the girl pass all the tests. This is also the main idea of ​​the fairy tale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”. The benevolent nature of the princess, whom her stepmother forced her to wear torn clothes and do the most menial tasks, did not allow her to become bitter. The princess was cheerful, and even when she had to wash the stone steps of the palace with a rag, she sang.

Everyone loved the princess. Pigeons cooed, landing on her shoulders, birds flew in from the forest to communicate with the girl. Only the stepmother hated her stepdaughter for her beauty. And this is also the main idea of ​​the fairy tale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”. Love and evil, how far they are from each other!

evil witch

At this very time, the queen was communicating with her magic mirror. Every day she listened to laudatory speeches from the enchanted reflection that she was “the loveliest in the world, the most rosy and white.” However, one morning magic mirror said that the queen is no longer the most beautiful in this world. It was a blow to the vanity of a vain woman. The stepmother was furious and called the huntsman, her confidant.

The Queen ordered the hunter to take Snow White to the forest so that she would pick a bouquet of meadow flowers, and then kill her hated stepdaughter. To prove that the princess was dead, the huntsman had to bring her heart in a box.

The escape

However, in the forest, Snow White was so sincerely happy about the birds, the sun and the flowers that the hunter, who also had a daughter, dropped the knife and repented of his planned crime. He warned the princess about the impending danger, advised her to run away and not appear in the palace again. Frightened Snow White ran into the forest, hoping to find salvation there.

The girl suffered in dark forest- tree branches whipped her in the face, sharp thorns of wild rose hips tore her dress. Eventually she fell on the grass and fainted. The main idea of ​​the fairy tale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” lies, among other things, in the heroic fortitude of the defenseless princess. In the morning she woke up with the first rays of the sun, small animals were running around - chipmunks and bunnies, squirrels and hedgehogs. Everyone wanted to meet Snow White and help her in some way.

House in the forest

Tired of unexpected adventures, the princess allowed her new forest friends to take her deep into the forest. A lonely house stood among the trees. Snow White went inside and was dumbfounded, everything in the house was so neglected. A mountain was piled in the trough dirty dishes, there were cobwebs hanging everywhere. The girl, without hesitation, rolled up her sleeves. She decided to clean an unfamiliar room, but she didn’t think about whether anyone would appreciate her action. The work began to boil, Snow White was helped by all the forest animals and birds that came with her.

The main idea in the fairy tale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” about friendship and mutual assistance hovered in the plot all the time while the cleaning was going on. Atmosphere common labor was permeated with goodwill, everyone washed the dishes together, swept the floor, and then settled down to rest together.

While Snow White and her many assistants, animals and birds, were making little people, the owners themselves were working in the mine to extract precious stones. Their united work also reflects the main idea (in the fairy tale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”) - perseverance and perseverance always lead to good results.

Princess on the farm

Snow White's house cleaning is coming to an end, and she also managed to put a huge cauldron on the fire in which to cook porridge. And now the last dirty plate has been washed, the house has become clean and cozy. The princess goes up to the second floor, counts the miniature oak beds, poorly made, and concludes that seven little people live in the house. Then she tells herself that the morning is wiser than the evening, and goes to bed. Her forest assistants settle in right away.

The seven dwarfs, meanwhile, collect the gems they mined during the day and go home. As they approach the house, all seven of them stop in their tracks - smoke is coming from the chimney, the windows are clean, and there is the smell of a hot lunch. The distrustful gnomes decide that an evil monster has settled in the house and is waiting to destroy them all.

Plucking up courage, the gnomes look into the door, then enter, looking around. There is no danger, the room is tidy, there is a cauldron with delicious porridge on the fire. Having suffered through fear, the little people finally go up to their bedroom. Introducing them to Snow White is a whole performance. The gnomes are afraid of the uninvited guest, but curiosity takes over, and soon a real friendship begins between them and the princess.

Snow White asks the owners of the house not to kick her out, and as a sign of gratitude promises to wash, cook, clean and do everything around the house while the dwarfs are at work. Seven little people happily agree, because they are tired of cooking tasteless food and washing dishes. Lunch time is approaching, the porridge is ready, but first, Snow White makes everyone wash their hands with soap and only then allows them to sit down at the table.

Queen's machinations

Meanwhile, the huntsman brought his mistress the heart of a wild deer in a box and colorfully told how he dealt with Snow White. The queen believed, but the next day the fragments of the broken magic mirror gave her a secret - it turns out that her stepdaughter is alive and is in the forest, in the house of the forest gnomes. Then the evil witch decided to kill Snow White - she brewed a potion, drank it and turned into an unhappy old woman. She took small things, as if for sale, and went into the forest.

After waiting for the gnomes to go to work, the witch came out of the forest, approached the house and knocked on the door. Snow White opened it, greeted the ragged beggar woman and asked how she could help her. The old woman asked for water, and then, as if as a sign of gratitude, she handed the princess a beautiful cord, offering to buy it and lace her dress. Snow White did just that, and the sorceress tightened the lace on the princess’s back so much that she suffocated and fell dead.

The dwarves returned from work and saw Snow White lying unconscious. The lace was untied, and the girl came to her senses. The dwarves made her promise that in future she would not open the door to anyone.

The evil witch, meanwhile, learned from her magic mirror that her stepdaughter was alive and again hurried into the forest, wanting to kill Snow White at all costs. She appeared in a different guise and knocked on the door. This time too, the princess believed the old woman and accepted a comb from her, with which she combed her magnificent hair. The enchanted comb immediately knocked her unconscious, and the witch hurried to hide.

The dwarves again saw Snow White lifeless, but this time they managed to bring her to her senses. The princess again promised not to let anyone into the house again. However, soon, when the dwarves went to work, her stepmother visited again, deceived Snow White and offered her to eat a piece of a ruddy apple. The princess at first refused, fearing a catch, but when the old woman divided the apple into two parts and ate one half that was not saturated with poison, the girl trusted the “good old woman” and took a bite. The poison acted instantly, and Snow White fell into eternal sleep.

Crystal coffin

Sobbing little people gathered around the sleeping Snow White. They did not dare to bury the princess in the ground, so they built a coffin made of crystal with solid gold trim, decorating it precious stones. Snow White lay in the coffin, still as beautiful and as if she was waiting for some miracle. Scarlet lips were fresh, their cheeks were rosy, and their white skin was set off by black curls scattered over their shoulders. The dwarves hung the coffin in a shallow cave near the house, and one of them was nearby all the time so that no one would disturb the princess’s peace.

Expectation

One day, a prince from a neighboring kingdom drove up to the little people's house, hoping to spend the night. He saw a beautiful princess in a crystal coffin and asked the dwarves for permission to take her to his palace. They, after consulting, gave their consent. As the coffin was being carried, Snow White shook and a piece of the poisoned apple fell out of her throat. She woke up and stood up.

Soon the princess and the prince got married. Seven dwarves were invited to the ball. They also called the stepmother, put red-hot shoes on her, and she danced in them until she fell dead.

Epilogue

This is how the Brothers Grimm's work "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" ends. in her endless kindness. The writers managed to fully convey the emotional mood present throughout the entire plot. Immortal literary work Brothers Grimm, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, the idea of ​​the fairy tale, its content, picked up by the entire global creative community and implemented with impeccable authenticity in various performances and productions, has been delighting children and adults all over the world for decades. The most famous version of the fairy tale, which was created at the Walt Disney film studio in 1937, was written by Ted Sears, a Hollywood producer.

By chance she pricks her finger with a needle, drops three drops of blood and thinks: “Oh, if only I had a baby, white as snow, red as blood and black as ebony.” Her wish comes true and a girl is born, who is named Snow White; the dreams of the Queen Mother are embodied in her: she had snow-white skin, black hair and a healthy blush on her cheeks. After the birth of her daughter, the queen mother dies, and the king a year later marries another, proud and arrogant beauty. When Snow White turns 7, the proud queen's magic mirror recognizes her stepdaughter as the most beautiful in the land. The queen instructs the huntsman to take the girl into the forest and kill her, and to bring her a lung and liver as proof. Taking pity on Snow White, the hound brings the queen a lung and the liver of a young deer, which she cooks and eats.

Snow White finds a hut in the forest in which a table is set for seven people and, in order to satisfy her hunger, she takes some vegetables, bread and wine from each portion, and then, crossing herself, falls asleep on one of the beds. When it gets dark, the owners come to the hut, who turn out to be seven mountain gnome miners. They see the baby and are captivated by her beauty. In the morning, after listening to Snow White's story, the dwarves invite the girl to stay with them and run the household. They also warn against communicating with strangers, fearing the machinations of her stepmother. Having learned from her mirror that Snow White is still alive beyond seven mountains, the queen comes three times, disguised as different people, in her arsenal - a strangling dress lace, a poisonous comb and a poisoned apple. Twice Snow White is saved by the dwarfs, but the third time they fail to recognize the reason for the death of their favorite. But even the lifeless Snow White was fresh and rosy, so the dwarves do not dare to bury her; they make a transparent crystal coffin with a gold inscription and place it on the top of the mountain. Even animals and birds come to mourn the king’s daughter, and the good gnomes, one by one, stand guard in shifts. The evil queen receives confirmation from her mirror that she herself is now more beautiful and sweeter than everyone else.

Snow White is very for a long time lies in a coffin, seems to be sleeping and still looks beautiful. One day, a prince passes by and, seeing a girl, falls in love with her. The prince asks the gnomes to exchange gifts or give him a coffin, since he can no longer live without looking at his beloved. Out of sympathy, the dwarves give his servants the coffin with the beauty, which they carry on their shoulders, but they stumble, and a piece of the poisoned apple jumps out of Snow White’s throat. Life is returning to her. The prince and Snow White are celebrating a wedding, to which the evil queen is also invited. Having learned from the mirror that the newlywed is more beautiful than her, the queen panics. However, curiosity takes over and the stepmother appears at the wedding celebration, where she recognizes her stepdaughter. As punishment for her deeds, the villainess must dance in red-hot iron shoes until she drops dead.

Plot interpretation and analysis

The fairy tale includes a wide variety of information blocks and associations, touching on aspects of psychology, sociology, history, Christian theology, mythology, and cosmology. The image of Snow White is one of the most recognizable and is reflected in painting, music, sculpture, cinema, literature and pop culture.

The most important symbolic motifs in the fairy tale: poisoned apple, number 7, magic mirror, belt and comb, contrasting colors: black, red and white, blood and snow.

The motif of a dream similar to death is also found in the fairy tale “Sleeping Beauty,” a version of which was also written by the Brothers Grimm. Pushkin’s “The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Knights,” written in the fall of 1833 in Boldino, is very similar to the Grimms’ “Snow White.”

Number three

Three drops of blood in the snow along with an ebony frame are the original picture for the appearance of the special beauty of Snow White in a fairy tale. The number “three” is also present in the three visits of the stepmother, during which she conveys the “three attributes of Venus” (belt, comb and apple) in the form of deadly gifts.

Number "seven"

The number “seven”, which is present in the number of dwarfs and mountain peaks in Snow White, also connects this fairy tale with the following fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm: “The Seven Ravens”, “The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats”. The idea that the number of dwarfs has a chronological meaning, for example in naming gnomes after the names of the days of the week, is reflected both in theory and in cinema. 7 dwarfs and 7 mountains will thus be a metaphor meaning seven objects and seven time periods.

The plot of the tale is comparable to ancient astronomical ideas: Snow White and the seven dwarfs are associated with the Moon, accompanied (according to the knowledge of the time) by the Sun, the Earth and five planets on the ecliptic. Moreover, the metaphor of Snow White and the seven dwarfs may point to the ancient idea of ​​the coincidence of the seven famous " celestial bodies"with seven days of the week: Snow White and the seven dwarfs, at the same time, is probably a coded picture of the structure of the cosmos, according to which the Earth is accompanied by seven celestial bodies, correlated with time intervals: the Sun (Sunday), the Moon (Monday), Mars (Tuesday), Mercury (Wednesday), Jupiter (Thursday), Venus (Friday) and Saturn (Saturday).

Psychological interpretations

Regarding the erotic level of the fairy tale “Snow White,” folklorist Lutz Rehrich notes that beauty is intertwined here with love, but in an extremely perverted form. The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm themselves are asexual. According to research by Heinz Relleke, this trend intensifies in later editions.

It was in the middle of winter, snowflakes were falling like fluff from the sky, and the queen was sitting
window - its frame was made of ebony - and the queen sewed. She was sewing and looking at
on the snow and pricked her finger with a needle, and three drops of blood fell on the snow. And red on white
the snow looked so beautiful that she thought to herself:

“If I had a child, white as this snow and ruddy as blood,
and black-haired, like wood on a window frame!”

And the queen soon gave birth to a daughter, and she was as white as snow, as red as blood, and
so black-haired, like ebony, and that’s why they called her Snow White. And when
the child was born, the queen died.

A year later the king took another wife. That was beautiful woman, but proud and
arrogant, and she could not stand it when anyone surpassed her in beauty. It was
she had a magic mirror, and when she stood in front of it and looked into it, then
asked:

And the mirror answered:

You, queen, are the most beautiful in the country.

And she was pleased, because she knew that the mirror was telling the truth. Snow White for this
time she grew up and became more and more beautiful, and when she was seven years old, she was
as beautiful as a clear day, and more beautiful than the queen herself. When the queen asked
at your mirror:

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Who is the most beautiful in the whole country?

It answered like this:

Still, Snow White is a thousand times more beautiful!

Then the queen became frightened, turned yellow and green with envy. From that hour he will see
She is Snow White - and her heart is breaking, she began to hate the girl so much. AND
envy and arrogance grew like weeds in her heart higher and higher, and
From now on she had peace neither day nor night. Then she called one of her huntsmen
and said:

- Take the child to the forest, I can’t see her anymore. You must kill her and bring her
I have her lungs and liver as proof.

The huntsman obeyed and led the girl into the forest, but when he pulled out his hunting knife and
I was about to pierce the innocent heart of Snow White, she began to cry and
ask:

- Oh, dear huntsman, if you leave me alive, I will run far into the dense forest and never
I won't return home.

And because she was beautiful, the huntsman took pity on her and said:

- So be it, run, poor girl!

And it was as if a stone had been lifted from his heart when he didn’t have to kill Snow White.
At that time, a young deer just ran up, and the huntsman killed him, took out his lungs and
liver and brought them to the queen as a sign that her order had been fulfilled. The cook was
ordered to boil them in salt water, and angry woman ate them, thinking they were lungs and
Snow White's liver.

And the poor girl was left in big forest alone, and she became so scared,
that she looked at all the leaves on the trees, not knowing what to do next, as I was burning
help. She started to run, and ran over sharp stones, through thorny thickets, and
wild animals jumped around her, but did not touch her. She ran as fast as she could, and
It was already getting dark, she saw a small hut and went into it to rest. And in
in that hut everything was so small, but beautiful and clean, no matter what a fairy tale says,
I can't describe it with a pen.

There stood a table covered with a white tablecloth, and on it were seven small plates,
each plate has a spoon, and seven more small knives and forks and seven small
cups. There were seven small beds standing against the wall, one next to the other, and they were covered
snow-white bedspreads. Snow White wanted to eat and drink, and she took from
each plate a little bit of vegetables and bread and drank a drop from each cup
wine - she didn’t want to drink everything from one. And since she was very tired, then
tried to go to bed, but none of them were suitable for her: one was
too long, the other too short, but the seventh one turned out to fit her, she lay in
her and, surrendering to the mercy of the Lord, fell asleep.

When it was already completely dark, the owners of the hut came, and there were seven dwarfs,
who mined ore in the mountains. They lit their seven lamps, and when in the hut
it became light, they noticed that they had someone, because not everything turned out to be the same
in the order it was before. And the first dwarf said:

-Who was that sitting on my chair?

- Who ate from my plate?

- Who took a piece of my bread?

Fourth:

- Who ate my vegetables?

- Who took my fork?

- Who cut with my knife?

The seventh asked:

- Who drank from my little cup?

And he was the first to look around and saw that there was a small fold on his bed, and
asked:

-Who was that lying on my bed?

Then the others came running and began to say:

“And there was someone in mine too.”

The seventh gnome looked at his bed and saw Snow White lying in it and sleeping. Called
he then the rest, they came running, began to shout in surprise, brought seven of their
light bulbs and illuminated Snow White.

- Oh, my God! Oh, my God! - they exclaimed. - What a beautiful one, though.
child! “They were so happy that they didn’t wake her up and left her to sleep in
bed And the seventh dwarf slept with each of his comrades for an hour, and so
the night has passed.

Morning has come. Snow White woke up, saw seven dwarfs and got scared. But there were
They were kind to her and asked:

- What is your name?

“My name is Snow White,” she answered.

- How did you get into our hut?

And she told them that her stepmother wanted to kill her, but the huntsman took pity on her,
and that she ran all day until she finally found their hut. The dwarves asked:

- Do you want to run our household, cook, make beds, wash, sew and knit?
keep everything clean and in order - if you agree to this, you can stay with us, and
You will have plenty of everything.

“Okay,” said Snow White, “with great pleasure.”

And she stayed with them. She kept the hut in order, in the morning the gnomes went to the mountains
look for ore and gold, and in the evening they returned home, and she had to
cook food for them. The girl remained alone all day, and therefore the good gnomes
warned and said:

- Beware of your stepmother: she will soon find out that you are here, be careful not to let anyone in
to the house.

And the queen, having eaten Snow White's lungs and liver, again began to believe that she was the most
the first and most beautiful of all women in the country. She went to the mirror and
asked:

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Who is the most beautiful in the whole country?

And the mirror answered:

You, queen, are beautiful,

But Snow White is there, just over the mountains,

At the seven dwarfs behind the walls

Then the queen was frightened - she knew that the mirror was telling the truth, and she understood
that the huntsman deceived her and that Snow White is still alive. And she began to think again, yes
figure out how to kill her; She had no peace of envy, because she was not the most
the first beauty in the country. And then, finally, she thought of something: she painted her face,
she dressed up as an old merchant, so it was impossible to recognize her. She headed through
seven mountains to seven dwarves, knocked on the door and said:

Snow White looked out the window and said:

- Hello, kind woman, what are you selling?

Good products“, wonderful goods,” she answered, “the laces are multi-colored.” - AND
The queen took out one of the laces, showed it, and it was woven from colorful silk.

“This honest woman can be allowed into the house,” thought Snow White,
I opened the door bolt and bought myself a beautiful cord.

“How suits you, girl,” said the old woman, “let me lace you up like
follows.

Snow White, not expecting anything bad, stood in front of her and let her pull on her
new laces, and the old woman began to lace, so quickly and so tightly that Snow White
suffocated and fell dead to the ground.

“You were the most beautiful,” said the queen and quickly disappeared.

Soon after, towards evening, the seven dwarves returned home, and how frightened they were,
when they saw that their dear Snow White was lying on the ground, not moving, not stirring,
definitely dead! They picked it up and saw that it was laced tightly, then
They cut the laces, and she began to breathe little by little and gradually came to her senses. When
The dwarves heard what had happened, they said:

- The old merchant was really an evil queen, beware, don’t let her in
no one when we are not at home.

And the evil woman returned home, went to the mirror and asked:

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Who is the most beautiful in the whole country?

And the mirror answered her, as before:

You, queen, are beautiful,

But Snow White is there, just over the mountains,

At the seven dwarfs behind the walls

A thousand times more beautiful!

When she heard such an answer, all the blood rushed to her heart, so she
frightened - she realized that Snow White had come to life again.

“Well, now,” she said, “I’ll come up with something that will surely destroy you.” —
Knowing the witch's witchcraft, she prepared a poisonous comb. Then she changed her clothes and
turned into another old woman. And she went over the seven mountains to the seven dwarves, knocked on
door and says:

- I sell good goods! Selling!

Snow White looked out the window and said:

“Perhaps we can take a look,” said the old woman, took out a poisonous comb and,
raising it up, she showed it to Snow White.

The girl liked him so much that she let herself be deceived and opened the door. They got along
in price, and the old woman said: “Well, now let me give you a good
I’ll comb my hair.”

Poor Snow White, suspecting nothing, allowed the old woman to comb her hair, but only she
touched her hair with a comb, the poison immediately began to act, and the girl fell without
feelings to the ground.

“You, beautiful beauty,” said the evil woman, “now the end has come for you.”
- Having said this, she left.

But, fortunately, it was late in the evening, and the seven dwarves soon returned home. Noticing
that Snow White was lying dead on the ground, they immediately suspected her stepmother and began
to find out what was the matter, and found a poisonous comb; and as soon as they pulled him out,
Snow White came to her senses again and told them everything that had happened. Once again
the dwarves told her to be on her guard and not open the door to anyone.

And the queen returned home, sat down in front of the mirror and said:

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Who is the most beautiful in the whole country?

And the mirror answered, as before:

You, queen, are beautiful,

But Snow White is there, just over the mountains,

At the seven dwarfs behind the walls

A thousand times more beautiful!

She heard what the mirror was saying, and she trembled and trembled all over with anger.

“Snow White must die,” she shouted, “even if it costs me
life!

And she went into the secret room, where no one had ever entered, and prepared
There's a poisonous, poisonous apple there. It was very beautiful on the outside, white and ruddy, and
anyone who saw it would want to eat it, but whoever ate even a piece of it
he would certainly have died. When the apple was ready, she painted her face,
dressed as a peasant and set off on a journey, across the seven mountains to the seven dwarfs. She
knocked, Snow White stuck her head out the window and said:

- Let no one in, the seven dwarves forbade me to do so.

“Yes, that’s good,” answered the peasant woman, “but where will I put my apples?” Want,
Shall I give you one of them?

“No,” said Snow White, “I was not ordered to take anything.”

- What is it, are you afraid of poison? - asked the old woman. - Look, I'll cut the apple into
two halves, you will eat the brown one, and I will eat the white one.

And the apple was made so cunningly that only its rosy half was
poisoned. Snow White wanted to taste the beautiful apple, and when she saw it,
that the peasant woman was eating it, she couldn’t resist, stuck her hand out of the window and took it
poisoned half. As soon as she took a bite, she immediately fell dead to the ground.
I looked at her with my with evil eyes The queen laughed loudly and said:

- White as snow, blush like blood, black hair like ebony! Now yours
the gnomes will never wake you up.

She returned home and began asking the mirror:

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Who is the most beautiful in the whole country?

And the mirror finally answered:

You, queen, are the most beautiful in the whole country.

And then her envious heart calmed down, as far as such a heart can find
peace for yourself.

The dwarves, returning home in the evening, found Snow White lying on the ground, lifeless and
dead. They picked her up and began to look for poison: they unlaced her, combed her hair,
They washed her with water and wine, but nothing helped - the dear girl was both dead and
dead and remained. They laid her in a coffin, all seven sat down around her and began to
mourn, and they cried like that for three whole days. Then they decided to bury her, but
she looked as if she were alive - her cheeks were beautiful and rosy.

And they said:

- How can she be like that? damp earth bury?

And they ordered to make a glass coffin for her so that she could be seen from everyone
sides, and laid her in that coffin, and wrote her name on it in gold letters, and that
she was the king's daughter. And they carried that coffin to the mountain, and always one of them
remained with her on guard. And the birds also came to mourn Snow White: first
an owl, then a raven and finally a dove.

And for a long, long time Snow White lay in her coffin, and it seemed that she was sleeping,
she was as white as snow, red as blood, and black-haired as ebony. But
It happened that one day the king's son drove into that forest, and he ended up in the house of the dwarves, so that he could
there to spend the night. He saw a coffin on the mountain, and in it the beautiful Snow White, and read,
what was written on it in letters of gold. And then he said to the dwarves:

- Give me this coffin, and I will give you whatever you want for it.

But the dwarves answered:

“We won’t give it up even for all the gold in the world.”

Then he said:

- So give it to me. I can't live without seeing Snow White.

When he said this, the good gnomes took pity on him and gave him the coffin.

And the king's son ordered his servants to carry him on their shoulders. But it happened that
they stumbled over some bush, and from the shock a piece of a poisonous apple fell out of
Snow White's throat. Then she opened her eyes, lifted the lid of the coffin, and then stood up and
herself.

- Oh, Lord, where am I? - she exclaimed.

The prince, filled with joy, replied:

“I have you,” and he told her everything that happened, and said:

“You are dearer to me than anything in the world, let’s go with me to my father’s castle, and
you will be my wife.

Snow White agreed, and they celebrated a magnificent and magnificent wedding.

But the queen, Snow White’s stepmother, was also invited to the celebration. She dressed up in
Nice dress, went to the mirror and said:

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Who is the most beautiful in the whole country?

And the mirror answered:

You, Madam Queen, are beautiful,

But the young queen is a thousand times more beautiful!

And then the evil woman uttered her curse, and she became so afraid, so
It’s scary that she didn’t know how to cope with herself. At first she decided not to
go to the wedding, but she had no peace - she wanted to go and look at the young
the queen. And she entered the palace, and recognized Snow White, and stood in fear and horror,
so she froze in place.

But iron shoes had already been placed on the burning coals for her, and they were brought,
holding it with tongs, and placed it in front of her. And she had to step her feet into the red-hot
hot shoes and danced in them until she finally fell dead
to the ground.
