In this material, we analyze the meaning and meaning of the phrase: "The strong is always to blame for the powerless." The composition tells the story of the famous fabulist Ivan Andreevich Krylov and his creative works.
short biography
The famous fabulist was born in 1769 in the family of a poor army captain. After the death of his father he moved to St. Petersburg. Krylov began his career at the age of ten as a clerk. The young man was engaged in self-education a lot. Years passed. Krylov was engaged in translations, journalistic activities, published a magazine. His works have always been distinguished by the presence in them of the spirit of democracy, a sharp satire. Throughout his life, the author wrote more than 200 fables.
A special kind of ancient art that has come to us since the time of Ancient Greece - this is what a fable is, at the beginning or at the end of which the author expresses some kind of morality or moralizing. One has only to look around and look around, and you yourself will see for yourself how much Krylov’s fables written more than 150 years ago are still relevant today.
Yes, of course, humanity has changed, cars, trains, planes, cordless phones and much, much more have appeared, but the essence of human relations does not change even after hundreds of years. There have always been and will be laziness, despotism, hypocrisy, hypocrisy. Everything and much more was ridiculed by a talented fabulist. The task of each of us is to be able to see the dark sides of human nature.
Wolf and lamb
The meaning of the work is contained in the first phrase. The strong is always powerless to blame. The composition affects such vices of human nature as impunity, permissiveness and despotism. Very often a person who is superior either in the physical plane, or in the material, or occupying a higher official position (the latter especially often happens), knows the strength of his position.
So, in the immortal work of Krylov, brute force in the face of a wolf prevails over a weak and defenseless lamb. No matter how reasonable the arguments the justification may give in justification, the strong and gruff wolf takes its toll. In the essay “The strong is always to blame for the strong”, the discussion on this topic concerns many situations that occurred in the lives of many people. But brute force will always be found to brute force, it may turn out that the wolf will soon be in place of a defenseless lamb.
In the essay “The strong is always powerless to blame” the meaning of which has a deep meaning, the images of animals, namely the wolf and the lamb, are used indirectly. Here it makes sense not external, but internal content, determined by the qualities of one or another animal. The wolf is the personification of power and authority, while he is not shy about using his position. The weak and defenseless lamb makes reasonable arguments, defending himself, and for a moment it seems that he will succeed. But the latest and absurdly stupid argument put forward by the wolf suggests otherwise. Such cases, unfortunately, are very common, and this can happen everywhere: at work, at school, in various everyday situations.
Fox and crow
In this essay, “The strong is always powerless to blame”, our story will affect other characters of Krylov’s fables: the fox and the crow. The situation indirectly resembles the one that we described above, but the difference lies in the methods for achieving one's goal. The method that the wolf uses is the whip method, that is, rudeness, power. The fox uses the gingerbread method to achieve the result - flattery, deceitful flattery, sweet as a gingerbread. Yes, she is stronger than a crow, but unlike a lamb, a crow is at a safe distance from a fox. And, it would seem, everything is in her favor, but the inability to distinguish ordinary flattery from sincere words led to the loss of something valuable.
Conclusion Total
In the essay, "The strong is always powerless to blame," summing up the writing, I would like to note one fact. If, in the case of the fox and the crow, the lesson is taught to the last person who, by her stupidity, having taken empty flattery for sincere admiration, lost her dainty, then in the case of the lamb and wolf everything is different. The work “The strong is always powerless to blame”, even the name itself, tells us not so much about morality as about truth. Unfortunately, this is so, it is this fact that is confirmed at any time in the history. It was this banal truth that the author wanted to convey. The fable has not lost relevance in our days.
