Only Ivanushka did not agree with this decision, and the old people did not dissuade, so the brothers went to fight with a miracle, to defend the Russian land. The brothers took damask swords, took knapsacks with bread and salt, sat on good horses and drove off. ( Slide 3)

V. Homework (Slide 18)
- Record an interview with the literary hero of the fairy tale "Ivan the Peasant Son and the Miracle Yudo."
From the fairy tale "Miracle Yudo", in this article you will find the necessary information. We will tell you about what qualities the hero showed, how he fought the monster, which helped him win the battle. The characterization of Ivan, a peasant son, will be of interest not only to those who are preparing for a literature lesson. Many will appreciate the image of this character. And fairy tales, as you know, are a storehouse of folk wisdom.
The main characters of the work of interest to us are: Ivan, his brothers and Miracle Yudo. There were three brothers, but why only one of them has a name? This, of course, is not accidental. The characterization of Ivan, a peasant son, interests the author most of all. Only he fought with Miracle Yud, and it is his name that is presented in the title.
The meaning of the name in ancient Russia
In ancient times, the name was given for a reason. He had to first be earned by some worthwhile deed. Until a certain time, children did not have names. At the age of 11-12, they participated in special tests, where everyone was given the opportunity to prove themselves. It was then that the children received names. Probably, this custom was reflected in the fairy tale. In it, the older brothers remain nameless, since they have not shown themselves in anything. In addition to the name, we also have a nickname. He is called the peasant's son. It almost sounds like a middle name. In ancient times, this is how it was presented: Sergei, Andreev's son, or Peter, Ivanov's son, etc. By the way, this is where surnames later appeared. In the tale, Ivan is called a peasant's son. This means that the fact that he is a peasant is important for the author.
Ivan's family
The work describes an ordinary peasant family, friendly and hardworking. The author notes that the family members were not lazy, they worked from morning to night. Peaceful labor was interrupted by the appearance of the Filthy Miracle Yuda, who intended to attack their land, destroy all people, and burn villages and cities with fire.
Why did the children decide to fight the monster
The children decided to fight the Miracle Yud because they could not come to terms with this misfortune, to see the grief of their parents. Father and mother did not hold them back. They understood that they needed to save their land, and this can only be done by the young. And so the three brothers ended up on the Kalinov Bridge. This is the border between their homeland and the kingdom of the monster. Here Ivan invited them to take turns on patrol so as not to let the Miracle Yudo cross the bridge.
How the brothers of the protagonist showed themselves
It is very important to be vigilant at the border, as the enemy can cross it at any moment. However, the brothers turned out to be irresponsible and frivolous. They simply walked around the bridge and, not noticing anything, went to bed, not thinking about the impending danger. And Ivan cannot sleep on the wrong side, as he worries about his homeland and constantly thinks about how not to let the enemy pass.
Why Ivan went to battle alone
Why did the main character decide to get down to business himself, without waking the brothers? The reason for this is not that Ivan does not hope for them. The fact is that he is the youngest, so Ivan must show that he can cope on his own. Why, in this case, disturb their sleep?
Fighting the monster
Defeating the monster was not so easy. Ivan had to spend three fights with him. The tale shows that each time the monster grew stronger. Miracle Yud had more heads, and therefore more strength. The first of them could not drive Ivan into the ground, the second managed to drive him up to his knees, and the third was able to drive him up to the shoulders. It was not easy for our hero. The monster deafened him with a whistle, scorched with fire, showered with sparks ... In addition, he had a magic fiery finger, which restored heads cut off by Ivan.
The characterization of Ivan, a peasant son, is largely revealed precisely during the battles. The main character shows himself in battle as courageous, courageous, full of self-esteem. In his speech, there are proverbs that help to understand all these qualities of Ivan.
The hero is resourceful. This is evidenced by the fact that he threw a handful of sand in the eyes of the enemy when he fought the second Miracle Yud. While the monster rubbed its eyes, he chopped off all the other heads. In the final battle, the hero realized that the enemy's strength was in the fiery finger. He won by contriving to cut it off.
But not only resourcefulness helped our hero win. His desire to free his homeland from adversity was also important. The characterization of Ivan, the peasant's son, would be incomplete if we missed this point. After all, the hero directly says to Miracle Yuda that he came to fight to the death in order to save good people from him.
The last fight
Describing the last battle, the author uses hyperbole. They are necessary in order to show the heroic strength of the protagonist. The mitten thrown by him pierced the roof of the hut where the brothers slept. The house then nearly rolled over the logs from the blow of its hat. Ivan fought Miracle Yud alone in the first two battles, but in the third he needed help. The hero had a presentiment of this. Going to battle, he warned the brothers that they might need help, and asked them not to sleep at night. And what happened?
Betrayal of brothers and Ivan's reaction
The episode of the brothers' betrayal reveals new qualities that mark the characteristics of the main character of the tale. Ivan, the peasant's son, asked them not to sleep. However, the brothers, despite Ivan's request, fell asleep again soundly. This is already a real betrayal, and not just irresponsibility. For this, not only Ivan could pay, but the whole native land. How did our hero react to this betrayal? This moment is very important if you are interested in the characteristics of Ivan, the peasant son from a fairy tale. After all, he did not get embittered, did not get angry, only chided his elders. Ivan asked his brothers. This characterizes him as a kind hero. Of course, Ivan, the peasant's son, knows how to forgive. The characterization of the hero, however, does not end there. He continues to show himself after killing the monster.
Final victory
Having defeated the monster, Ivan, the peasant's son, did not calm down. The characterization of the hero is complemented by new qualities shown by him after the battle. Ivan was not intoxicated by the victory, he did not lose his vigilance. The hero rightly suggested that the Wonderful Kingdom could still undertake some tricks. The fact is that the hero killed only the main warriors. The kingdom itself remained intact ... And Ivan needed a complete victory. That is why he decided to go beyond the Kalinov Bridge, sneak unnoticed to the stone chambers. Our hero went to the window and listened - is there anything else planned? Ivan's fears were not in vain. It turned out that the mother and wife of Chuda Yud were planning to destroy the brothers. Again Ivan turned out to be smarter and more prudent than them, thanks to which he saved them from death.
Ivan is a peasant and a Christian
Note that both at the beginning and at the end of the work, the agricultural labor of the protagonist and his family is mentioned. The author writes at the beginning of the tale that they "worked from morning till night." And in the end, he notices that they began to live, live, "sow wheat" and "plow the field." Therefore, the most important thing in the life of Ivan's family is work. In the title of the tale, the nickname of the protagonist (peasant son) corresponds to the meaning of Ivan's life, which consists in working on his native land. However, the word "peasant" is derived from the word "Christian", which, in turn, comes from "Christian". This is the name of the one who lives according to the commandments of religion, professes faith in Jesus. He is an honest, kind, hardworking, merciful person who loves his native land and is ready to protect it.
A brief description of Ivan, the peasant's son, can be supplemented by the fact that he is not just a peasant, but also a Christian. He loves his land, selflessly stands up to its defense, diligently cultivates it, knows how to forgive, is unforgiving, respectful to elders. His life reflects Christian ideas about man. In addition, Ivan also turns out to be a real hero. However, he is very modest: having returned to his usual business, the peasant son does not demand and does not expect any awards. He liberated his land unselfishly.
This completes the characterization of the hero of the fairy tale "Ivan the Peasant Son and the Miracle Yudo". This character shows the best qualities inherent in the common people. One of its most worthy representatives is Ivan, a peasant's son. The characterization of the protagonist proves this.

Questions and Answers

2. Are you interested in Ivan - a peasant son?
3. Can it be argued that Ivan is the son of his people, his part, his protector? Why?
4. What do you think are the origins of hero power?
THE IMAGE OF IVAN
At the very beginning of the tale, the reader does not assume that the youngest of the sons, Ivan, whom the older brothers did not want to take with them on their journey, will turn out to be the defender of their land! Gradually delving into fabulous events, we observe how the mind and ingenuity, courage and dexterity of the young hero are manifested.
Question: Find in the text the words over which Ivan for the first time makes the brothers think about the danger and seriousness of the situation.(“Well, brothers, we drove into the wrong direction, we need to listen to everything and look closely.)
Despite the warning, the older brothers slept under a bush during the patrols. Ivan realized the uselessness of the brothers' participation in the campaign and he himself entered into single combat with the miracle Yud.
The task: Read how the appearance of the miracle-Yuda about six heads, about nine, about twelve heads is described.
Each time the image of a miracle-yuda becomes more and more terrible. At the time of its appearance, the waters in the river were agitated, the eagles screamed, and for the third time - “the earth shook with dampness, the waters in the river were agitated, the winds howled violently”.
Question: Frightened, Ivan trembled from what he saw? Why?
Depicting the growing danger each time, the author-people emphasizes the seriousness of the situation for the hero. This was not done by chance, this is a special technique, using which, the author shows the courage, bravery, fearlessness of Ivan, which causes the reader to love and respect the defender of his land.
Question: How does Ivan behave at every meeting with a monster?
The first time he did not flinch, he answered wisely; in the second - he showed resourcefulness, courage; for the third time Ivan is decisive, unstoppable.
Question: How do older brothers behave? Why are useless helpers needed?
And this is an artistic device. With the help of this opposition, the following is achieved: against the background of arrogant idlers, a simple and modest winner is clearly shown.
Remember that at the beginning of the tale, the brothers do not want to take Ivan on a campaign. In fact, everything turns out to be the other way around: brothers are useless, and Ivan is a hero, a defender.
Image of the enemy
In order to enhance the impression of the sight of a vile monster, the people portray him as creepy, treacherous, carrying evil, violence, and death.
Another artistic technique: the monster is shown not with the aim of intimidating the people, but in order to arouse disgust for the enemy, to hate him. No matter how terrible the enemy is, a person will still win, since he is fighting for a just cause.
To the twelve-headed snake Ivan calmly says: "I came with you to fight to the death, to save you, damned, good people." This remark contains folk wisdom and the main idea of the tale.
COMPOSITION OF A FAIRY TALE
Questions and tasks:
1. Is there a beginning, an ending in the tale? Find.
2. Is there a threefold repetition of the action? (Three fights .)
3. What phrases slow down the action?(“How long did they go short, how long did they go?” “They drove along,” etc.)
4. Give examples of persistent epithets.(Good fellow, damask sword, etc.)
Pay attention to the ending of the tale. The main idea is repeated in it once again (sounds): “And Ivan, the peasant's son with his brothers, returned home, to his father, to his mother. And they began to live and live, plow the field and sow wheat. "
In these words, the dream of people about a free, calm life, peaceful work is personified. Ivan is a simple man, a national hero, a patriot with honor, conscience, who loves his homeland.
- How can you formulate the moral of a fairy tale?
Miracle Yudo was a conqueror to a foreign land, where there was a peaceful life. The indignation of the people cannot be stopped. In the image of Ivan, all the best forces of the Russian land united, this helped to defeat the enemy. This is confirmed by the proverbs in which folk wisdom lives:
In what people you live, follow the custom.
Its land is sweet in a handful.
The alien side is the stepmother, the birthplace is the mother.
The Russian does not joke with either a sword or a roll.
In Russia, not all crucians - there are ruffs.
Don't go to someone else's monastery with your own charter.
II. Competition for the best illustration for a fairy tale. Discussion of works.
Homework: reading and retelling of the fairy tales "Crane and Heron", "Soldier's Overcoat"; work on assignments "Thinking about the originality of fairy tales about animals", "Thinking about the originality of everyday fairy tales" (pp. 40-46).
In a certain kingdom, in a certain state, there was a king; this king had a pillar in the court, and in this pillar there are three rings: one gold, another silver, and the third copper. One night, the king had such a dream: as if a horse was tied to a golden ring - every hair, then a silver, and a month was bright in the forehead. In the morning he got up and ordered the cry to be called: whoever judges this dream and gets the horse, for that I will give my daughter and half of the kingdom to boot. A multitude of princes, boyars and all sorts of gentlemen gathered at the royal cry; thought and thought - no one can interpret the dream, no one undertakes to get a horse.
Finally, it was reported to the tsar that the beggar old man had a son, Ivan, who could interpret the dream and get a horse. The king ordered to summon him. Ivan was summoned. The king asks him: "Will you judge my dream and get a horse?" Ivan replies: "Tell me in advance what kind of dream and what kind of horse do you need?" The king says: “Last night I dreamed as if a horse was tied to a golden ring in my yard - every hair, then a silver, and a month was bright in my forehead”. - “This is not a dream, but a reality; because last night a twelve-headed serpent came to you on this horse and wanted to steal the princess. " - "Is it possible to get this horse?" Ivan replies: "It is possible - only when I am fifteen years old." At that time Ivan was only twelve years old; the king took him to the palace, fed and watered him until fifteen.
This is how Ivan passed fifteen years, he said to the tsar: "Come on, sir, I have a horse on which I can get to the place where the snake is." The king took him to the stables and showed him all his horses; only he could not choose a single one according to his strength and gravity: as he put his heroic hand on which horse, that one would fall. And he said to the king: "Let me go into an open field to look for a horse for myself." The king let him go.
Ivan the peasant's son had been looking for three years, he could not find it anywhere. Goes with tears back to the king. An old man comes across to him and asks: "What are you, boy, crying?" He answered his demand rudely, simply drove away from himself; the old man said: "Look, little one, do not remember me." Ivan moved a little away from the old man, thought to himself: “Why did I offend the old man? Old people know a lot. " He turned back, caught up with the old man, fell at his feet and said: “Grandpa, forgive me, he offended you from the abyss. I am crying about this: for three years I walked across the field in different herds - nowhere could I find a horse on my own. " The old man replies: “Go to such and such a village, there is a mare in the stable of a peasant, and from that mare a lousy foal was born; you take him and feed him: he will be within your power. " Ivan bowed to the old man and went to the village.
He comes to the peasant right in the stable, saw a mare with a lousy foal and laid his hand on that foal. The foal did not bend; he took it from a peasant, fed it for some time, came to the king and told him how he got himself a horse. Then he began to gather to visit the snake. The Tsar asked: "How much do you need, Ivan the peasant son, do you need strength?" Ivan answers: “What is your strength to me? I can get one; unless you give me six people for the parcels. " The king gave him six people; so they packed up and drove off.
How long or short they drove - no one knows; we only know that they have arrived at the river of fire, a bridge lies across the river, and a huge forest is around the river. In that forest they pitched a tent, got various drinks, began to drink, eat, and have fun. Ivan the peasant's son says to his comrades: "Come on, guys, every night one by one watch: won't anyone pass through this river?" And it happened so: whoever of his comrades goes to keep the guard, everyone gets drunk in the evening drunk and sees nothing.
Finally Ivan the peasant's son went to watch; he looks: at midnight a snake with three heads rides across the river and gives a voice: “I have neither a debater nor a slander; Is there really one debater and a slander - Ivan the peasant's son, and even that crow in a bubble of bones did not bring! " Ivan the peasant's son jumped out from under the bridge: “You're lying! I'm here". - "And if here, then let's argue." And the serpent rode out against Ivan on a horse, and Ivan set out on foot, swung his saber and cut off all three of the snake's heads, and took the horse for himself and tied it at the tent.
The next night, Ivan the peasant's son killed the six-headed serpent, on the third night - the nine-headed one and threw them into the river of fire. And when he went to watch on the fourth night, a twelve-headed serpent came to him and began to speak angrily: “Who is Ivan the peasant's son? Come out to me now! Why did you beat my sons? " Ivan the peasant's son came out and said: “Let me go to my tent in advance; and then we will fight "-" Okay, go! " Ivan ran to his comrades: “Well, guys, here's a basin for you, look into it; when he is full of blood, come to me. " He turned and stood against the serpent, and when they parted and hit, Ivan cut four heads off the serpent the first time, and he went knee-deep into the ground; the second time they parted - Ivan cut off three heads, and he himself went into the ground; the third time they parted - three more heads were cut off, he went up to the chest; finally he cut one down - he left up to the neck. Then the comrades only remembered about him, looked into the basin and saw that blood was pouring over the edge; they came running and cut off the last head of the serpent, and they pulled Ivan out of the ground. Ivan the peasant's son took the snake horse and led him to the tent.
Now the night has passed, the morning has come; the good fellows began to drink, eat, and have fun. Ivan the peasant's son got up with fun and said to his comrades: "You guys, wait for me!" - and he turned into a cat, walked across the bridge over the fiery river, came to the house where the snakes lived, and began to make friends with the cats there. And in the whole house only the snake herself and her three daughters-in-law survived; they sit in the upper room and say among themselves: "How can we destroy the villain Ivan the peasant's son?" The little daughter-in-law says: “Wherever Ivan the peasant's son goes, I will make hunger on the way, and I myself turn into an apple tree; as he eats the apple, now he will break it! " The middle one said: “But on their way I will make me thirsty and turn into a well; let him try to drink! " The eldest said: “And I will induce sleep, and I myself will become a bed; if Ivan the peasant's son lies down, he will die now! " Finally, the mother-in-law herself said: "And I will open my mouth from earth to sky and devour all of them!" Ivan the peasant's son listened to everything they said, left the room, turned into a man and came to his comrades: "Well, guys, get ready to go!"
We got together, drove off, and for the first time on the way there was a terrible hunger, so there was nothing to eat; they see - there is an apple tree; comrades Ivanovs wanted to pick apples, but Ivan did not order. "This," he says, "is not an apple tree!" - and began to chop it; blood began to flow from the apple tree. The second time they were thirsty; Ivan saw the well, did not order to drink, began to chop it - blood flowed from the well. For the third time a dream attacked them; there is a bed on the road, Ivan chopped it up too. They drive up to the mouth, open from earth to sky; what to do? We decided to jump from flight through the mouth. Nobody could skip; only Ivan the peasant's son jumped over: a wonderful horse brought him out of trouble - every hair, then a silver, and a moon was bright in his forehead.
He came to a river; there is a hut by that river. Then he came across a peasant himself with a feather, a mustache seven miles away and said to him: “Give me the horse; but if you don’t give it back with honor, then I will take it by force! ” Ivan answers: "Get away from me, until he crushed you with a horse!" The little peasant himself with a feather, his mustache knocked him down for seven miles, got on his horse and drove off. Ivan enters the hut and grieves strongly about the horse. In that hut, a legless, armless person lies on the stove and says to Ivan: “Listen, good fellow - I don't know what to call you by name; why did you contact him to fight? I was not a hero like you; and even then he ate my arms and legs! " - "For what?" - "And for the fact that I ate bread on his table!" Ivan began to ask how to get the horse back? The legless, armless one says to him: “Go to such and such a river, take off the ferry, carry it for three years, don't take money from anyone; then you will get it! "
Ivan the peasant's son bowed to him, went to the river, rented a ferry and for three whole years transported without money. Once it happened to him to transport three old men, they give him money, he does not take. "Tell me, good fellow, why don't you take money?" He replies: "According to the promise." - "On what?" - “A malicious man knocked off my horse; so good people taught me that I would take off the ferry and not take money from anyone for three years ”. The old men said: "Perhaps, Ivan is a peasant son, we are ready to serve you - to get your horse." - "Help, dear ones!" The old men were not ordinary people: they were Studenets, Glutton and a sorcerer. The sorcerer went ashore, drew a boat on the sand and said: "Well, brothers, do you see this boat?" - "We see!" - "Sit in it." All four got into this boat. The sorcerer says: "Well, light boat, do me a service, as you did before."
Suddenly the boat rose through the air and instantly, like an arrow fired from a bow, brought them to a large rocky mountain. There is a house near that mountain, and in the house he lives with a feather, and his mustache is seven miles away. The old men sent Ivan the horse to ask. Ivan began to beg for a horse; the peasant himself with a feather, a mustache seven miles away, said to him: "Steal the king's daughter and bring it to me, then I will give the horse." Ivan told his comrades about this, and immediately they left him, and went to the tsar themselves. Come; The tsar found out why they had come, and ordered the servants to heat the bathhouse, to heat it red-hot: let them suffocate! After he asked the guests to go to the bathhouse: they thanked and went. The sorcerer ordered the Student to go ahead. The student went into the bathhouse and cooled down; so they washed, evaporated and came to the king. The king ordered a large dinner to be served; a multitude of various dishes were served on the table. The glutton began and ate everything. At night, the guests gathered on the sly, stole the princess, brought him to the peasant himself with a feather, a mustache seven miles away; The princess was given to him, and the horse was rescued.
Ivan the peasant's son bowed to the old men, mounted his horse and rode to the tsar. He rode and rode, stopped in an open field to rest, pitched a tent and went to bed. I woke up, grab - next to him the princess lies. He was delighted, began to ask her: "How did you get here?" The princess said: "I turned with a pin and stuck it into your collar." At that very moment she turned around again with a pin; Ivan the peasant's son stuck it in the collar and drove on. Comes to the king; the tsar saw a wonderful horse, receives the good fellow with honor and tells how his daughter was stolen. Ivan says: “Don't grieve, sir! I brought her back. " I went into another room; the princess turned into a red maiden. Ivan took her hand and led her to the king. The tsar rejoiced even more, took a horse for himself, and gave his daughter in marriage to Ivan's peasant son. Ivan still lives with his young wife.
