Fedora's Grief

Style and Technique

«Fedora's Grief» by Korney Chukovsky is a children's poem written in the fairy tale genre. The style of the work is characterized by vivid, lively, and imaginative language that is easily understood by children. Chukovsky uses rhymed lines, which give the text a musicality and rhythm, making it memorable and easy to read aloud. Literary devices include personification—dishes and other items come to life, speak, and act like living beings. This helps create a magical atmosphere and captivate young readers. The story's structure is simple and logical: it begins with the disorder and chaos in Fedora's home, followed by the climax of the utensils' escape, and concludes with the resolution when Fedora reforms and restores order. The language is rich with dialogues and exclamations, adding dynamism and emotion. Chukovsky skillfully uses repetition and sound patterns to enhance the impression and create vivid imagery.
