You measure and I’m a friend of gray. You are gray, and I, my friend, are gray

The wolf in the kennel is Krylov’s fable, allegorically describing the failed negotiations between Napoleon and Kutuzov. The wolf in the kennel is a real masterpiece of the fable genre.

Fable The wolf in the kennel read

The wolf at night, thinking to get into the sheepfold,
I got to the kennel.
Suddenly the whole kennel rose up —
Sensing gray so close to the bully,
Dogs burst into barns and rush out to fight;
Psari shout: “Oh, guys, thief!” —
And suddenly the gate is locked;
In a minute the kennel became hell.
Run: another with a club,
Another with a gun.
«Fire!» they shout, «fire!» They came with fire.
My Wolf is sitting with his back in a corner.
Clicking teeth and bristling wool,
With eyes, it seems like he would like to eat everyone;
But, seeing that there is not in front of the flock
And that, finally,
He will comb for the sheep, —
My sly one set off
In negotiations
And he began like this: “Friends! why all this noise?
I, your old matchmaker and godfather,
I came to make peace with you, not at all for the sake of a quarrel;
Let’s forget the past, set a common mood!
And I, not only will I not touch the local herds in the future,
But I myself am glad to squabble over them with others
And I affirm with a wolf oath,
That I … ”-“ Listen, neighbor, —
Then the hunter interrupted in response, —
You are grey, and I, my friend, are grey,

Therefore, my custom:

As if having skinned them off.
And immediately released a flock of hounds on the Wolf.

Moral of the fable Wolf in the kennel

And I have known your wolf nature for a long time;
Therefore, my custom:
With wolves otherwise do not make peace,
How to remove the skin from them off.

Fable Wolf in the kennel — analysis

Krylov’s fable Wolf in the kennel is a patriotic work about significant historical events of 1812. The hunter is Kutuzov, the Wolf is Napoleon, but even a detailed knowledge and understanding of history with a comparison of the behavior of these individuals does not fully cover the deep morality of the Wolf in the kennel fable.

In Krylov’s fable, a lot of attention is paid to the transfer of the picturesqueness of all the paintings and the moods of the participants. Anxiety in the kennel excites with the use of vivid and figurative expressions: “dogs are eager to fight” … Moreover, the wolf’s dangerous cunning and resourcefulness are especially clearly described: “I came to put up with you not at all for the sake of a quarrel. ” The author very easily conveys the mind of the Huntsman, who already understands the hypocrisy of the wolf in an attempt to save his own skin. The hunter does not listen to him, but pronounces the words that became the beginning of morality: «You are gray, and I, buddy, are gray.»

Like a fable, originated 4000 years ago. A witty allegorical narrative certainly contains the main idea — morality. This genre was brought to Russian literature and revived by Ivan Andreevich Krylov. If the first fabulists — the ancient Greek author Aesop, the German writer and playwright of the 19th century Lessing — preferred the prose form, then Krylov wrote all the fables exclusively in verse. «The Wolf in the Kennel» is a fable of high patriotic content, written during the years of the Great Year, at the time of the invasion of Napoleon’s troops and their inglorious flight from the battlefield.

It is characteristic that at school the study of this work is not always accompanied by a reference to a parallel with the historical plot, in which there are two main characters: the Hunter — the commander Mikhail Ivanovich Kutuzov, the Wolf — Napoleon. Meanwhile, it is in this context that the “moral of this fable” should be perceived. The analysis of the fable «The Wolf in the Kennel» is often done superficially, the work is presented as a fairy tale about an unlucky wolf who, «thinking to get into the sheepfold, ended up in the kennel.» An unimaginable noise arose, the dogs rushed into battle, and the Wolf sat in fear, “huddled in a corner with his backside”, began to speak flattering speeches about good neighborliness. But you can’t fool the Huntsman: he knows the nature of wolves well, and he will go to the world, “only having removed the skin from them off.”

Used by I. A. Krylov, they vividly reproduce the atmosphere of military battles, the state of mind of the trapped Wolf, as well as the anger of the inhabitants of the kennel, where an uninvited guest showed up. Is it possible to more vividly describe the confrontation between the defenders of the Motherland and the aggressor, who, at the first danger, backpedaled and even tried to make peace — why not a wolf in a kennel? A fable is a miniature work, comparable in significance to an action-packed novel or a historical story.

What is Wolf in the Kennel really about? The fable describes a real historical fact from the time of the Patriotic War. Realizing that he could not defeat the Russians, the emperor decided to make peace with Kutuzov. However, these negotiations did not take place, and any attempt to make peace would be doomed to failure. The enemy troops were utterly defeated and shamefully fled, freezing in the snows of Russia and losing thousands and thousands of people. This is colorfully and metaphorically written in the satirical picture «The Wolf in the Kennel». The fable was written precisely in the memorable year 1812.

The fabulist donated his creation to Kutuzov’s army. History tells that Mikhail Ivanovich, going around his regiments, would certainly read to the soldiers by heart «The Wolf in the Kennel». The fable contains the following words: «You are gray, and I, friend, are gray.» With these words, Kutuzov each time took off his cocked hat and showed his gray head. The enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the soldiers knew no bounds.

The meaning of this fable is so transparent and obvious that the author did not even accompany it with his traditional explanation — «The moral of this fable is this.» The one who defends his home and his land cannot be defeated or tricked by some tricks — that’s the whole moral of the fable «The Wolf in the Kennel». She is out of time. That is why it remains relevant to this day.

Ivan Andreevich Krylov filled the fable “The Wolf in the Kennel” with deep content and patriotic overtones. It is dedicated to the events of 1812. Which of the famous historical figures became its heroes? — you will find out after reading an instructive poem.

The fable «The wolf in the kennel»

The wolf at night, thinking to get into the sheepfold,
I got to the kennel.
Suddenly the whole kennel rose up —
Sensing gray so close to the bully,
Dogs burst into barns and rush out to fight;
Houndsmen shout: “Oh, guys, a thief!” —
And suddenly the gate was locked;
In a minute the kennel became hell.
Run: another with a club,
Another with a gun.
«Fire!» they shout, «fire!» They came with fire.
My Wolf is sitting with his back in a corner.
Clicking teeth and bristling wool,
With eyes, it seems like he would like to eat everyone;
But, seeing that there is not in front of the flock
And that, finally,
He will comb for the sheep, —
My sly one set off
In negotiations
And he began like this: “Friends! why all this noise?
I, your old matchmaker and godfather,
Came to make peace with you, not at all for the sake of a quarrel;
Let’s forget the past, set a common mood!
And I, not only will I not touch the local herds in the future,
But I myself am glad to squabble over them with others
And I affirm with a wolf oath,
That I . .. ”-“ Listen, neighbor, —
Then the hunter interrupted in response, —
You are gray, and I, friend, gray,
And I have long known your wolf nature;
Therefore, my custom:
With wolves, otherwise do not make peace,
How to remove the skin from them off.
And immediately unleashed a flock of hounds on the Wolf.

The moral of Krylov’s fable «The Wolf in the Kennel»

The moral of the fable «The Wolf in the Kennel» lies in the final words of the hunter and consists in the fact that the enemies must be defeated and destroyed, not succumbing to any of their persuasion about a truce, because these persuasions can be only a consequence of a hopeless situation and, if the circumstances are different, the enemy will not spare.

Analysis of the fable «The Wolf in the Kennel»

As noted earlier, the fable «The Wolf in the Kennel» is dedicated to the events of 1812, when, having captured Moscow and being «driven into a corner» because of this, the French emperor Napoleon tried to conclude with M I. Kutuzov world, but he did not succeed, because the great commander could not forgive the Frenchman for the losses that the Russian army suffered because of him.

Napoleon in this fable is the Wolf, and the hunter is Kutuzov.

However, the analysis of this work cannot be limited to the historical fact described above. Its meaning is much broader: everyone can get involved in a war, but not everyone is able to stand with honor to the end, and since blood has been shed, so that the insidious and dodgy enemy does not speak, you need to fight him, because if the circumstances were the other way around, he would definitely not spared.

Popular expressions from the fable «The wolf in the kennel»

“I have known your wolf nature for a long time” — is used in the fable “The Wolf in the Kennel” as a mockery in the meaning: “I cannot be deceived, I know you too well for this.”
“You are gray, and I, buddy, am gray” — a phrase that characterizes the wisdom of the speaker in relation to the addressee and literally reads: no matter how hard you try, I still see through your nature.

You are gray, and I, buddy, are gray. You are gray, and I, friend, gray Krylov you are gray, and I am a friend gray

Krylov’s fable: The wolf in the kennel

Wolf in the kennel — Krylov’s fable

The fable «The Wolf in the Kennel» was first published in the magazine «Son of the Fatherland», part I, No. 2, in October 1812. The original plot of this fable is based on one of the key episodes of the Patriotic War of 1812.

The action of the fable takes place in a kennel, where the Wolf, who was about to steal a sheep from the sheepfold, got by mistake. The dogs immediately sensed the predator and made a fuss. Houndsmen ran to this noise and closed the gate, cutting off the wolf’s escape route.

Seeing that there was no way to get out of the trap, the Wolf tried to negotiate with the dogs, reminding him that he was their distant relative. The wolf swore he would never steal sheep again and even protect them from other predators. In response to the speeches of the Wolf, the Huntsman said that he knew the nature of the wolf well and was not going to go to the world. After that, the Huntsman unleashed a pack of hounds on the Wolf.

Under the Wolf in the kennel Krylov in his fable refers to Napoleon in Russia. By that time, Napoleon had already entered Moscow and, thinking that he had won the war, was waiting for the Russian emperor to respond to his proposal for peace. But Emperor Alexander I promised not to end the war until the enemy left Russia.

Napoleon waited in vain for the Russians to agree to his terms. In the end, he ended up in a trap. The general plan of military operations, communicated to Kutuzov from St. Petersburg in early September, was to operate behind Napoleon’s lines, making it difficult to retreat. Prince Volkonsky, sent to receive an explanation from Kutuzov for his actions, informed the emperor that it would be difficult for Napoleon to get out of Russia.

Like Napoleon, the Wolf in the kennel in Krylov’s fable found himself in a hopeless situation. The flattering words of the Wolf quite accurately correspond to Napoleon’s proposals for peace at the time.

Under the dogs of Krylov in the fable means the troops and the people’s militia, who were eager to fight. Seeing the Wolf, the kennel closed the gate to the kennel, and he was trapped. In the image of the Huntsman, Krylov presented Kutuzov, who «locked» Napoleon in Moscow, as if in a trap. According to contemporaries, Kutuzov read the fable after the battle of Red to the officers gathered around. When reading the lines: “and I, my friend, am gray,” the commander took off his cap and shook his tilted gray head. The reading of the fable was accompanied by friendly laughter. The next day the whole camp read the fable. So Krylov’s work raised the morale of the Russian army.

“You are gray, and I, buddy, am gray” — this phrase shows that Krylov in his Stalker valued mainly and even, perhaps, exclusively cunning. Such a view of the fabulist on the commander-in-chief is fully justified by many historical data. Before Kutuzov left for the army, one of his relatives had the indiscretion to ask: “Are you really hoping to defeat Napoleon, uncle?” Kutuzov replied: “No. And I hope to deceive. He said almost the same thing during the Tarutino camp: «Napoleon can beat me, but he can’t deceive me. » Kutuzov did not succumb to Napoleon’s cunning speeches, and as a result, the invader left Moscow, and later left Russia with the remnants of his army.

From the fable «The Wolf in the Kennel» one can see how vividly Krylov followed the events of the Patriotic War and how aptly he noticed everything that happened. In the fable, Krylov expressed a sense of national resentment and a just thirst for revenge. The whole of Russia then spoke through the mouth of the poet. Subsequently, under the influence of the fable «The wolf in the kennel», the proverb «Tucked his tail like a wolf in the kennel» was born, which was included in Dahl’s collection.

Like a fable, it started 4000 years ago. A witty allegorical narrative certainly contains the main idea — morality. This genre was brought to Russian literature and revived by Ivan Andreevich Krylov. If the first fabulists — the ancient Greek author Aesop, the German writer and playwright of the 19th century Lessing — preferred the prose form, then Krylov wrote all the fables exclusively in verse. «The Wolf in the Kennel» is a fable of high patriotic content, written during the years of the Great Year, at the time of the invasion of Napoleon’s troops and their inglorious flight from the battlefield.

The wolf in the kennel — Krylov’s fable, allegorically describing the failed negotiations between Napoleon and Kutuzov. The wolf in the kennel is a real masterpiece of the fable genre.

Fable Wolf in the kennel — analysis

In Krylov’s fable, a lot of attention is paid to the transfer of the picturesqueness of all the paintings and the moods of the participants. Anxiety in the kennel excites with the use of vivid and figurative expressions: “dogs are eager to fight” … Moreover, the wolf’s dangerous cunning and resourcefulness are especially clearly described: “I came to put up with you not at all for the sake of a quarrel.” The author very easily conveys the mind of the Huntsman, who already understands the hypocrisy of the wolf in an attempt to save his own skin. The hunter does not listen to him, but pronounces the words that became the beginning of morality: «You are gray, and I, buddy, are gray.»

The moralizing tales-fables of the famous Russian poet and publicist Ivan Andreevich Krylov are by no means always transparent in their teaching and educational message. The fabulist has a whole layer of fables written on the topic of the day, so to speak, as a response to certain historical events, of which he was a contemporary. The fable «The Wolf in the Kennel» just refers to this type of Krylov’s fables.

About creating and publishing

The fable was created by Krylov at the height of the hostilities of the Patriotic War of 1812. It is also unusual in which magazine the fable was first published — it was not a literary or journalistic publication, but “Son of the Fatherland”. This is due to the circle of readers to whom the work was oriented. Krylov wanted to convey his idea to arrogant youth, the military, officials, and so on. The fable was published in October 1812.

The fable tells us about the unlucky Wolf who decided to attack the sheepfold to profit. However, by mistake, our hero ended up in a kennel. It is not difficult to guess that immediately the hunting and watchdogs raised a fuss. Hearing the confusion, the kennels came running and closed the gate so that the random guest would not run away.

Having assessed the situation, the Wolf rightly decided that he could not get out and that he needed to negotiate with the dogs. Reminding the dogs that he was their distant relative, Gray promised that he would never again attempt to climb into the sheep and even assured that he would fiercely defend the herd from encroachment by enemies. But the main dog cut off the wailing speeches of the Wolf, saying a phrase that immediately became winged — «you are gray, and I, my friend, are gray.» This means that, despite the obvious similarities (gray-gray), there is a huge difference between them. The fable ends with the Stalker unleashing a pack of hounds on the Wolf.

Historical background

It is believed that under the appearance of the Gray Wolf, the author of the fable meant Napoleon with his gray military coat. But the gray-haired color of the dog refers the reader to the gray-haired head of the famous Nikolai Kutuzov. This was the most honored, eminent and glorious military commander who began his career under Catherine II. And although personally Emperor Alexander I Kutuzov was not very pleasant, from a critical situation he turned to him, the genius of military thought.

According to Kutuzov’s military plan, Russian troops were to block Napoleon’s retreat. Like a wolf in a kennel, that is, being in a hopeless situation, Napoleon’s army was doomed to death. The capture of Moscow resulted in a crushing defeat for the Napoleonic troops. The gray-haired, wise Kutuzov outplayed Bonaparte’s gray frock coat.

Moral

The whole of Russia retold the text of the fable — Krylov so aptly noticed all the subtleties of historical upheavals. In addition to the famous «you are gray, and I …», a new saying was created by the people: «tuck your tail like a wolf in a kennel.» The ironic saying was even included in Dahl’s collection.

If we consider morality without referring to historical realities and focusing on children’s and youthful audiences, then the meaning of the fable boils down to the following: often bad people, getting into a difficult situation, are ready to swear anything — eternal friendship, good intentions, bright motives, promise anything. However, in reality, you need to be able to discern such cunning people and not follow their lead. These excuses look absurd and unconvincing, and the vile person should suffer the deserved punishment.
