The predictions of the witches

At First the king Matthew wanted to invite 12 fairies, was cooked the same dishes – max. But then it turned out that one was missing. So the king decided the twelfth, old and evil, not to call.

After the guests well sat, we drank, ate, began to bestow the Princess all sorts of joyful predictions. As the sorceress was a sorceress, all these wonderful moments were eventually to come true.

If to analyze this event and compare the work of Zhukovsky Pushkin's poem, it becomes clear that both girls were waiting for a sad event, but first had to prick with the spindle, and the second – poison Apple.

Optimistic prophecy of a good witch

This did little wicked witch. But the girl was lucky, because only 10 of sorceresses managed to predict the good, and eleventh have not yet said the magic words. To smooth the spell of a witch, the last of the guests said that the girl will not die but will sleep for 300 years. After this period the evil will disappear, and the Princess will live happily to a ripe old age. All this is written in verse in his work Zhukovsky (“Sleeping Princess”). The main characters of the story - it is not only the king, the Queen, the Princess and the two witches, on the other the reader learns later.

The Prediction of the witches comes true

Upon Hearing the wish of his beloved daughter, the evil witch, the king was very upset. He became bad to eat, sleep, and then issued a decree to forbid to sow flax, to make him the yarn, twist it using spindles. This tool antique needlework were not allowed to have in any home. After this decree Matthew calmed down, and life flowed on as usual.

Time Passed, the Princess turned 15, she became even more beautiful, blossomed like a flower in may. One day her parents went out, and the young girl stayed at home. She was bored and she decided to explore the Palace. Indeed, in some areas the girl has never been.

She Began to walk around the mansion and saw a steep staircase, climbed it, and there is a small back room. The girl was curious, she opened the door and saw an old woman sitting and spinning yarn. The old woman took it and handed the girl a spindle, because this was the same witch. Immediately a young maiden pricked her hand and fell asleep. So appeared in the Palace of the sleeping Princess. Zhukovsky, the heroes in this tale, both positive and negative, further describes the picture of the universal dream.

Sleepy's

At that moment the entire Palace and its inhabitants was covered by the universal slumber. The king and his wife stood on the porch, right there and fell asleep. Their entourage froze standing straight, not letting go of the guns. Cornet fell asleep on horseback, the animal plunged into years of slumber. Even the dogs, the flies stopped, and remained immovable. Cook how to cook a meal, and stayed in the kitchen. Even the fire fell into slumber.

Since then, it's sleepy could not fly a bird, beast, too, would not pass there. A thornbush grew up as a high fence, wild Bor, too, has stood in the way.

The last 100 years. During this time, some brave, heeding the stories of grandparents, trying to find the Palace and the Princess, but none of them ago and never returned, so all left desperate attempts to get there.

King's son

So it took 300 years. Somehow the young Prince rode through the forest with his retinue, and behind her. Was he so cherished forest, met an old man. He told the young man that had heard from their grandfathers that in these places is the Royal Palace, it sleeps a beautiful Princess and now 3 centuries waiting for its Savior.

The knight rode to where said the old man. Before you boys the dense forest blossomed, nature was clearly pleased at his appearance – birds chirped, streams flowing, flowers just started to bloom. All this is beautifully described in the poetry of Zhukovsky.

“Sleeping Princess”: the main characters

In Addition to the girls, there are characters that played in the fate of a significant role. This is both positive and negative characters. The latter category can be attributed only to one person – the old sorceress. She did evil. Took her a considerable role in his work, the author, for the old girl almost died in the Prime of life, and therefore gave the name of his opus Zhukovsky “Sleeping Princess”. What does this point? What if you invite guests, then you need to think about who it is. It is possible to offend people by inviting 11 friends, and the twelfth – no. Then, he can hold a grudge, as did the witch from a fairy tale.

But her spell was meant to dispel the Prince, which is one of the main heroes along with the girl and her parents.
