Narrator's image

The image of the storyteller in a fairy tale causes certain

 questions. Who conducts the narration: in the author or on

 behalf of Buratino?

 In the story of the storyteller there are facts of frank empathy

 to described events. It allows to assume that the author is the

 active participant of these events if he introduces in them his 

 own emotional moment? Besides this participant does not

 possess sufficient level of literacy though conducts a

 narration...

Here, probably, it is necessary to remember that

the character-story-teller is an artistic way of the writer which

 the author"charges" to conduct the story, therefore the level

of his intelligence and literacy leaves the mark literally on all

narration.    Whether it is impossible that the "author" of the

 narration of the "fairy tale"  is Buratino? Who "never  didn`t

 see a feather and an inkwell" and his"universities" were

reduced to the dialogue with more than doubtful tramps? First

 of all it concerns an evident coincidence of stylistic features

of speech. To take, for example, such characteristic use  of

 diminutive forms of adjectives by Buratino.

And  now we will try to define psychological characteristics of

the storyteller and  through their prism to estimate events 

 described by him objectively instead of how he tries to

 present  them to us. First of all, self-eulogy of Buratino is

 evident. During the  "terrible fight on the edgeof the forest "he

 sat out on a pine and  a wood brotherhood battled basically; a

 victory in fight is a  business of Artemon`s  paws and  teeth,

 he"  disengaged the winner ". It appears that, except such

unscrupulous assignment of another's merits, our wooden

 Buratino is heartless. Buratino in a fairy tale acts both as the

 story-teller and as the hero.

 manner "condenses clouds" over a head of the main opponent

 - Karabas Barabas; but  over him always  clear sky  or  the

 sun shines for some reason.
