During the classes

1. Opening remarks.

I want to start the lesson with a riddle.

There is a tree about four things:
The first thing is to illuminate the world,
Another thing is to calm the world,
The third thing is to heal the sick,
The fourth thing is to maintain cleanliness.

Do you know riddles and poems about birch trees?(on projector)

All these poems and riddles remind us that birch is the most beloved tree of the Russian people and one of the most revered among the Slavs.

Today in class we will work on studying two texts. This is a poem by S. Yesenin “Birch” and A. Fet “Sad Birch”

Our task is to find out what linguistic means poets use to create an artistic image and express their feelings;

By comparing them, find what these poems have in common and what is their difference.

So, before us are two poems (on the projector). Portraits of poets.

White birch
Below my window
Covered myself with snow
Exactly silver.

Sad birch
at my window
And the whim of frost
She's dismantled.

On fluffy branches
Snow border
The brushes have blossomed
White fringe.

Like bunches of grapes
The ends of the branches hang, -
And joyful to look at
Their mourning outfit.

And the birch tree stands
In sleepy silence,
And the snowflakes are burning
In golden fire.

I love the game of Lucifer
I notice on her
And I'm sorry if the birds
Shake off the beauty from the branches.

And the dawn is lazy
Walking around
Sprinkles branches
New silver.

Read the poems expressively.

What's the theme?

- birch;
- human and nature;
– the relationship between man and nature.

It is revealed using a specific example of the artistic image of a birch and the feelings of the lyrical hero.

Read the statement by N.V. Gogol. (on the projector)

...man walks alongside nature, with the seasons, an accomplice and interlocutor of everything that happens in creation.

- Comment on it in connection with these poems.

Pay attention to the first two lines of the poem.

The word of what part of speech indicates the empathy of the lyrical hero, his involvement?

– possessive pronoun my

And in which poem does the personal pronoun appear?
Why do you think?

– It gives a touch of sincerity, emotion, expressiveness

Both poets begin the poem with an adjective that modifies a noun birch.

Yesenin uses “white” as a color epithet. For Fet, “sad” is an epithet for subjective assessment.

– In ancient times, white color was identified with the divine. In ancient monuments the adjective white denoted participation in God: a white angel, white vestments, white robes of saints...

How does the image of a white birch make you feel?

– The image of a white birch evokes a feeling of joy, shining light, purity, the beginning of a new life...

“She appears before us light, graceful, blinding with whiteness...

Teacher: It is very important that it is with these epithets that the disclosure of the artistic image of the winter birch begins, because each word of the poet carries a certain semantic load.

...In every word there is an abyss of space, every word is immense... N.V. Gogol.

(On the projector)

Name the verb forms in the first quatrains that work to create the image.

- What is the difference? Please comment.

Yesenin creates a kind of living image of a birch tree, in many ways similar to a woman. In one of her movements one can discern both the desire to be beautiful and the desire to hide and preserve what is hidden inside.

You can choose a contextual synonym - dressed up

What does the short form of the participle “disassembled” mean?

A whim is a capricious desire, a whim.

– What lines convince us that, unlike Yesenin’s flirtatious beauty, Feta’s birch is sad, she is not happy with her winter outfit?

And joyful to look at
All mourning attire.

The use of the short form is not accidental. It indicates a variable, time-varying characteristic. The short form gives special expression

Do birch trees differ in mood?

Yesenin has a flirtatious beauty, light and graceful.

Fet is sad, she is not happy with her winter outfit

– What paths help you see the beauty of the winter dress of birches?

- Comparisons.

Yesenin’s – “like silver”, “white fringe”

Fet says “like bunches of grapes”

– Epithets:

So, nature is beautiful at any time of the year. And the mood of the lyrical hero Yesenin is consonant with the mood of the winter birch tree. A mood of peace, quiet, tranquility.

What other image appears in poems?

– It highlights the beauty of birches.

– Zarya-Dennitsa (outdated, bookish, poetic)

What lines from Yesenin can explain Fet’s metaphor “the game of the Lucifer”

I love the game of Lucifer
I notice on her

– Why does this game take place in “sleepy silence”?

K. Paustovsky writes interestingly about this phenomenon:

...Next to the lightning is in the same poetic row the word “dawn” - one of the most beautiful words in the Russian language. This word is never spoken loudly. It is impossible to even imagine that it could be shouted. Because it is akin to that established silence of the night, when a clear and faint blue shines over the thickets of a village garden. “Unseen,” as people say about this time of day.”

So:

What do these two poems have in common? (artistic image of a birch).
What's the difference?
What helps the poet reveal the image? (artistic and visual means of language).

Conclusion:

The same natural phenomenon is perceived by each poet in his own way, causing different associations and feelings. To reveal the same image, poets use their unique linguistic means.

Try to guess what epithets A. Prokofiev chose in the poem “Birch”.

On the projector:

I love Russian birch
That ……… , That ………. ,
In a bleached sundress,
WITH. ............. clasps,
WITH ………… earrings
I love how elegant she is
………… , beloved.
That clear, ebullient ,
That ………., ………… .
I love Russian birch
Sometimes bright, sometimes sad,
In a bleached sundress,
With handkerchiefs in pockets,
With beautiful clasps
With green earrings.
I love how elegant she is
Dear, beloved.
That clear, ebullient ,
Then sad, crying.

(A. Prokofiev)

The word “birch” in the common sense means tree. But in poetic speech it takes on a different meaning. This is both the image of the Motherland, and the image of a Russian woman, the image of Russian nature.

Imagine yourself as an artist.

Leonardo da Vinci said: “Painting is poetry that is seen but not heard, and poetry is painting that is heard but not seen.”

With what colors would you try to imagine the picture depicted with the help of words in the poems of Fet and Yesenin?

– bright, white, blue, silver...

Pay attention to the reproduction of the painting “February Azure” by Ignatius Emmanuilovich Grabar.

Was the artist able to convey with paint the mood, the feeling of joy, happiness from contemplating a birch tree?

The means of creating an artistic image may be different for a poet and an artist, but they are united by the ability to see the unusual in the ordinary, the beautiful in the ordinary.

I felt the same desire to present the same phenomenon in my own way, to see “my” birch tree, to express my feelings and associations in your answers, which you worked on in today’s lesson.

Analysis of Afanasy Fet’s poem “Sad Birch”

Returning again and again to the work of my beloved poet, Afanasy Fet, I never cease to admire the simplicity and completeness of his thoughts and, at the same time, every time I am convinced that his poems, accessible to everyone, are not so clear-cut. Here is his “Sad Birch” - a short and seemingly understandable poem that, when studied in more detail, makes you think and reflect.

What is the author describing to us? The white birch tree that he sees every day from the window of his house. And this beauty stands, shackled by winter frosts, and therefore sad, but at the same time decorated, dressed up by the helpful winter-winter. And it’s unclear whether we should rejoice for this frozen beauty, or sympathize with her sadness.

The author makes the reader worry, and how could it be otherwise? How can you tell if a birch tree is happy in its dress, which looks like bunches of grapes? It seems that both the author, observing the life of the winter beauty, and the tree itself are thinking with tenderness about the past summer, about the warm time, when instead of artificial “grapes” the main symbol of Russia was decorated with real, simple, but painfully familiar earrings.

And yet, the birch tree, dead in the frost, as if dressed in a shroud, is not a sign of the end in this poem, since the morning star plays on its branches - and the poet notices this. And if so, then the spring time will come, when not the birds, but nature itself will shake off the winter beauty from the birch tree, and it will dress in its usual, so dear and familiar carved greenery, and will delight the observer, proving again and again that life goes on.

On the other hand, the end of the poem suggests that the state of the birch tree could not be more consistent with the poet’s current feelings and experiences. That is why he is afraid that the birds will disturb the cold beauty of the birch and interrupt that invisible spiritual connection that has arisen between the numb tree and the author. Some kind of tragedy, anguish is felt in this short poem, despite its certain pomp and solemnity.

And just think, 12 lines, how much meaning, how much depth. And this is all Fet.

Analysis of Fet's poem "Sad Birch"

According to some traditions, the birch tree could act as a protector from evil spirits. According to other beliefs, mermaids and devils lived in its branches. In pre-Christian times, symbolism associated with birch was found not only among the Slavs, but also among the Celts, Scandinavians, and Finno-Ugric peoples. In most cases, they associated the plant with the transition from spring to summer. In a broader sense, it became a symbol of death and subsequent resurrection.

“Sad birch...” A. Fet

Sad birch
At my window
And the whim of frost
She's dismantled.

Like bunches of grapes
The ends of the branches hang, -
And joyful to look at
All mourning attire.

I love the game of Lucifer
I notice on her
And I'm sorry if the birds
They will shake off the beauty of the branches.

Fet's poem is often compared with Yesenin's famous work "Birch". written in 1913. Both poets depict a winter birch tree. But in Sergei Alexandrovich she appears in the image of a bride, and Afanasy Afanasyevich practically dresses her in a funeral shroud. In addition, in Fet’s “Sad Birch” the position of the lyrical hero is more clearly expressed. In Yesenin it is indirectly present only at the beginning. What unites the two works? First of all, the endless love for the homeland that the poets were able to convey.

Picture for the essay analysis of the poem Sad Birch

In Russian literature, the image of a birch is associated with opposing and contradictory concepts. After all, a large number of different literary works have been created about her, both in a positive and negative way. She is a beautiful girl who is always held up as an example of fidelity and love. She will help, calm and understand. Poets often describe it with different love stories.

After all, in Yesenin’s poem “White Birch Tree Under My Window” she is described as a joyful bride. But Fet’s is sad, maybe because the winter season lacks foliage and all the beauty that attracts attention. Although from the description one can understand that the birch tree is like a bride, although beautiful, but sad. At the same time, the plot of the poem evokes sad thoughts, since the hero is impressed by this view. He doesn't even want spring to come and this snowy appearance to disappear.

Fet wrote this poem in the 19th century and a white dress, as a symbol of mourning, perhaps in the desert really pleases the eye. Although in our time it doesn’t fit in our heads. The poem itself is imbued with solemnity and sorrow. Why is he sad? Why did the poet compare its branches to bunches of grapes? At first glance, this description is incomprehensible, but if you think about it, the meaning is deep. Bunches of grapes is a comparison of snow, so dense and beautifully lying on the branches. And the winter view helps the poet find the notes of the music of his own soul that are rushing out.

Fet used outdated words to write the poem "Sad Birch", they show all the beauty of the landscape. They also make the poem idle and majestic.

An analysis of Fet's poem "Sad Birch" leads to the idea that any weather is just a passing stage that you don't want to miss. You can enjoy all the colors and emotions, you just have to see the positive sides in everything. Everything will happen, but of course not right away.

Analysis of Fet's poem "Sad Birch..."

Fet's poem is often compared with the famous work

The birch tree is rightfully considered one of the main symbols of Russia. Many songs and legends have been written about her, and poems that are deeply lyrical have been written. Most often, the birch was compared, of course, with a Russian beauty. After all, her figure is white and thin, and her lush green braids, and even earrings - everything is like a village girl. Emigrant writers who found themselves far from their homeland especially missed Russian birches. For example, Teffi in her story “Nostalgia” wrote with pain: “Every woman here knows - if the grief is great and you need to lament - go into the forest, hug the birch tree and sway with it, go away with tears all along with it, with the white one, with your own, with a Russian birch tree! Therefore, the birch tree accompanied the Russian people both in sorrow and in joy. So on Trinity Sunday, one of the most famous and beloved church holidays, a young birch tree symbolized the strength of the awakening earth, so they decorated the house with its branches inside and outside, especially carefully laying out the branches behind icons and behind window frames. Before the holiday, the birch tree was “curled”, i.e. the branches were braided and twisted into a wreath, and then beads, ribbons, and scarves were hung on it. Directly on the holiday of the Trinity, round dances were held around the birch tree, and then they “developed” it and drowned it in a pond, so that it would give all its strength to the first shoots in the fields and contribute to the well-being of people.

Since Trinity is celebrated in the summer, in the winter, obviously, longing for this joyful warm season begins. Perhaps this is why the 19th century Russian poet Afanasy Fet wrote a poem about the birch, but already in the title he endowed it with the epithet "sad". Naturally, in winter she no longer has earrings, green braids, and the white trunk merges with the white snow.

Why is Fet’s birch tree sad? Perhaps because "It was dismantled by the whim of the frost", that is, in fact, depends on external elemental forces, and the form of the passive participle emphasizes this doom in the best possible way. On the other hand, the word "dismantled" usually used in relation to someone who shines with clothes. The image of a lush beauty involuntarily arises, just in the style of the 19th century. Therefore, in the first stanza of Fet’s poem, some surprise is heard: the winter birch is sad, but at the same time elegant.

In the second stanza, the poet’s joy increases because the branches of a winter birch tree remind him of bunches of grapes, and this comparison, at first glance, seems inappropriate in winter. The impression is enhanced by the oxymoron “the whole mourning outfit is joyful to look at”. How is this possible? Is mourning compatible with joy? The most surprising thing, perhaps, for the reader of the 21st century, is why white is a mourning color, since it is more common to associate mourning with black. Perhaps in the middle of the 19th century (and the poem was written in 1842), it was more traditional to perceive the deceased in a shroud - a funeral attire, and it is usually white. And yet this outfit "pleasant to look at" poet.

In the last stanza the play of light of the morning dawn ( "Dennitsy") brings the birch tree to life so much that the poet is afraid of any changes in it and does not want the birds to shake off the snow from its branches. Then she will lose the charm of the charm of sadness, and the hero will no longer experience the range of feelings that he has already experienced. It is important to note that the hero of the poem very openly expresses his feelings towards the described tree: "at my window", "pleasant to look at"(it’s clear whose point of view is meant), "I love... I notice", "I'm sorry". Such an attitude is not typical for landscape poetry, which is why, probably, such a poem cannot be considered a landscape. It is, rather, an expression of feelings and experiences, which is more typical of elegy.

In conclusion, it remains to add that the words "branches", "Dennitsa", characteristic of the style of the 19th century and the style of Fet himself, are already archaic in our time, but they give the sound of the verse pomp and solemnity.

Analysis of Fet's poem "Sad Birch..."

The poem “Sad Birch...” was created in 1842. It dates back to the early period of Fet’s work. The work is a small landscape sketch, consisting of only three quatrains. The poet depicts a birch tree that grows under the window of the lyrical hero, while giving it the epithet “sad.” Perhaps the choice of adjective is due to the fact that the tree is described in winter. Deprived of leaves or catkins, it seems to be dying. At the same time, the lyrical hero is impressed by the plant’s mourning outfit. He likes branches covered with snow. It seems that the arrival of spring will not be joyful for him, when the tree is reborn and throws off its white dress. Most likely, the sad birch tree is close to the lyrical hero because of his own state of mind. This gives the miniature a touch of tragedy.

Fet's poem is often compared with a famous work written in 1913. Both poets depict a winter birch tree. But in Sergei Alexandrovich she appears in the image of a bride, and Afanasy Afanasyevich practically dresses her in a funeral shroud. In addition, in Fet’s “Sad Birch” the position of the lyrical hero is more clearly expressed. In Yesenin it is indirectly present only at the beginning. What unites the two works? First of all, the endless love for the homeland that the poets were able to convey.

White birch Below my window Covered myself with snow Exactly silver.	Sad birch at my window And the whim of frost She's dismantled.
On fluffy branches Snow border The brushes have blossomed White fringe.	Like bunches of grapes The ends of the branches hang, - And joyful to look at Their mourning outfit.
And the birch tree stands In sleepy silence, And the snowflakes are burning In golden fire.	I love the game of Lucifer I notice on her And I'm sorry if the birds Shake off the beauty from the branches.
And the dawn is lazy Walking around Sprinkles branches New silver.
