unfair situation when the ignorant taken to judge things, his mind and taste beyond the control occurs often offensively.This - the fable 'Ass and the Nightingale "Ivan Krylov.

conflict

Contemporaries told, that inspired the poet to create works in case of his life.A high-ranking dignitary, after hearing the artistic execution of Krylov's fables, the writer praised, but scolded him for what he does not take the example of another author (who wrote much weaker than the wing).Spilling his offense in the fable, Ivan Andreyevich still managed to create a typical illustration of the differences between the undeniably talented creator and ignorant, but arrogant critic.The conflict is doomed to be eternal.His multiple projection of our life come true with the advent of a time when "the cook began to rule the state."Creators who have experienced painful moments of perplexity when influential persons condescendingly patted them on the shoulder, frankly stupidity of their products, it is gratifying to see the allegory of the conflict so as it is a fable 'Ass and the Nightingale. "

artistic means

author generously uses literary devices for the image of characters, style of speech heroes, describing the absurdity of the situation.First of all, the course is the opposition.The donkey, the personification of stubbornness and stupidity, in contrast to the Nightingale - a symbol of inspiration and poetry.Donkey rude speech immediately reveals his uncouth and ambitious nature.He refers to a Nightingale and was unassumingly: buddy, Donkey ... masterische heard of the lovely singing of the Nightingale, but doubts: "... a truly great l ... ability?" Said the Nightingale - a heavenly singing - everything leads around in delight.Noun "ability", which used the Donkey, is opposed to art, the phenomenon of the Nightingale.The author proposes a cascade of mutually reinforcing verbs, passing uniquely beautiful trill "clicked", "whistling", "I poured", "pulling", "gentle weakened", "was given a pipe", "shot crumbled."Fable "Donkey and the Nightingale" draws a complete harmony that arises in nature and in the hearts of people from the song of the Nightingale.No wonder the author here uses a high vocabulary: the favorite goddess of the dawn still listen, I calmed down, lay down the herd.There is a pastoral motive.The story reaches its climax when the shepherd hears Nightingale "barely breathing."As soon as the song ceases, Donkey throws his ponderous assessment: "Pretty!" Krylov multiplies satirical effect, describing how art reacts to the reverent singer "profound" critic: stupid "staring into the land of his forehead."He was only a Nightingale 'without getting bored, you can listen to. "And of course, he fancies himself a great connoisseur, so I think it was his duty - to teach.Donkey important notices by inserting here colloquial word "sharpened", which Nightingale sang would be better if a rooster "bit to learn."The moral of the fable 'Ass and the Nightingale "is expressed in a brief and succinct phrase:" to get rid of God, and we have a sort of judges. "And, in fact, a fake donkey authority - a big obstacle in the way of art, designed to ennoble life.
