The power of great and real art in the tale of G. H. Andersen “The Nightingale”. Hans Christian Andersen is rightly considered “the king of a fairy tale”. The writer, like a real magician, penetrated the soul of a child, an adult, a simple gardener and a pompous gentleman, a court nobleman or emperor. He tried to find something in every person. The great storyteller believed that real art can create a miracle, make a man the best, as happened with the emperor in the fairy tale “The Nightingale”.

Despite the fact that the emperor exchanged it for an artificial time, in a time difficult for a person, he rushes to the rescue. Nightingale with his singing makes Death retreat. The emperor is ready to reward the bird generously. But he replied that “the highest jewel from which the heart of the singer rejoices,” there were tears in the eyes of the emperor.
The ideological thrust of Longfellow’s poem “The Song of Hiawatha.” His rare talent of the harbinger of the consciousness of people Longfellow showed in the poem “Song of Hiawatha”. It is the creative processing of the myths and legends of the Indians of North America, carried out under the influence of the appearance of the Finnish epic Kalevali. The poem impresses with the poetic character of the story of the exploits of the legendary Ojibwei leader, the wise and fearless Hiawathi. The hero is able to communicate not only with people, but with everything in the world around him and even with supernatural forces. Hiawatha inherent beautiful traits: kindness, courage, wisdom. One of the leading thoughts in the poem is the idea of overcoming all sorts of internecine strife in the name of peaceful existence on a generous land.
The mythologized god addresses the audience with an appeal:
Your power is in oneness, But disagreement is your evil; May there be peace between you, As between brothers!
Longfellow saw no other way than reconciling the Indians of North America with the civilization of white settlers. The poem has become a kind of call for unity of people.
The fabulous adventures of Robin Hood. Until this time, the most popular in England is the cycle about Robin Hood. The hero of these ballads had a real prototype, and the events depicted did occur in the late 12th – early 13th century. Robin Hood – one of the “forest brothers” – a robber who becomes a defender of the poor and offended. From this point of view, the unnamed authors of the cycle idealized the hero and his brotherhood of “gay people” whom he gathered in the Sherwood forest near Nottingham. Among the best there is a ballad about the clash between Guy Psborn and Robin Hood.
Representing the image of Gisborne, the narrator of the people says that the knight of the royal cavalry “was considered one of the best archers and swordsmen in the entire royal army.” But at the same time emphasizes that “his heart was treacherous and treacherous.” The brave Robin Hood kills the boastful knight, dresses in the clothes of Gisborne, frees his twin brother Little John. Together with the forest brothers, Robin Hood disperses sheriff guards and happily turns to the forest house. Unlike the tragic end of the ballad story, we have a happy ending of the work, typical of a fairy tale.
