Abstract

The research considers Russian folk tales, the characters of which are a wolf, fox and hare. It is substantiated that in Russian tales, a WOLF, FOX and HARE have representative qualities – they serve as a representative of a person, that is, they are quite definite metaphorical representatives of a person’s behavior strategy, actions and behavior in the family. Images of these animals, widely presented in the folklore and ethnographic context, reflect a typical pattern of behavior in the family, thinking and appreciation of any person with a Russian mentality. It is emphasized that the roots of Russian folklore are deeply and inextricably linked with its basic family values, which in folklore reflect the images of the animal world, presented in a bright and accessible artistic form. Images of a wolf, fox and hare are transmitted over many generations, through folklore texts, introducing both children and adults to the family's basic values and consolidating a strong harmonious national and cultural foundation. It is proved that in Russian folk tales, the relationship between a wolf and a fox is built taking into account the gender factor, which allows to reveal the pattern of behavior in the relationship between a man and a woman.
