Transformation of ideas about the miraculous in author’s fairytales of the 18th-21st centuries

The article is devoted to the topic of transformation of ideas about a miracle in a literary fairy tale, which the author calls lyrical or lyrical romantic. The idea of miracles, the article says, remains relevant for people who always want extraordinary positive changes for themselves, and the fairy tale to some extent satisfies the belief in the possibility of a miracle. A folk tale, growing from the depths of traditional society and representing interpretations of nomadic plots, contains the idea of a miracle as a result of the assistance of a “magical assistant”, while the main character may not have high morality at all, he strives for success in life and uses any means on this path to defeat rivals and opponents, miracle is his weapon. In the 18th century, a literary fairy tale was actively formed, initially carrying Christian ideas and a charge of romanticism. Now this is the artistic result of the author’s personal position. Accordingly, the image of a miracle changes: the idea arises that in the presence of the previous “instrumental miracles”, the main source of the miracle and the miracle itself is a person with his good will and love. Love friendly, childish, brotherly plays the role of the leading miracle. In the 18th 19th centuries, this is love, which, first of all, disenchants those who have been bewitched by evil sorcerers and witches. In the 20th 21st centuries, this is already love that goes beyond personal relationships, capable of both creating the world and freeing it from black magicians, that is, it itself is a huge miraculous force.
