Editions of The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol by Nikolai Gogol The title is also the name of the demonic entity central to the plot, now generally considered to be a figment of the novelist's invention. Students at Bratsky Monastery in Kiev Kyiv break for summer vacation. They stray from the high road at Nikolai Gogol 1st edition sight of a farmstead, hoping its cottagers would provide them. A group of three, the kleptomaniac theologian Khalyava, the merry-making philosopher Khoma Nikolai Gogol 1st edition, and the younger-aged rhetorician Tiberiy Gorobets, attracted by a false target, must walk extra distance before finally reaching a farm with two cottages, as night drew near. The old woman begrudgingly lodges the three travelers separately. At night, the woman calls on Khoma, and begins grabbing at him. This is no amorous embrace; the flashy-eyed woman leaps on his back and rides him like a horse. When she broom-whips him, his legs begin to motion beyond his control. He is strangely envisioning himself galloping over the surface of a glass-mirror like sea: he sees his own reflection in it, and the grass grows deep underneath; he bears witness to a sensually naked water-nymph rusalka. By chanting prayers and exorcisms, he slows himself down, and his vision is back to seeing ordinary grass. He now throws off the witch, and rides on her back instead. He picks up a piece of log, [a] and beats her. The older woman collapses, and transforms into a beautiful girl with "long, pointy eyelashes". Later, rumour circulates that a Cossack chief sotnik [5] 's daughter was found crawling home, beaten near death, her last wish being for Khoma the seminary student to come pray for her at her deathbed, and for three successive nights after she dies. Khoma learns of this from the seminary's rector who orders him to go. Khoma wants to flee, but the bribed rector is in league with the Cosssack henchmen, [b] who are already waiting with the kibitka wagon to transport him. The Cossack chief Yavtukh nicknamed Kovtun explains that his daughter expired before she finished revealing how she knew Khoma; at any rate he swears horrible vengeance upon her killer. Nikolai Gogol 1st edition turns sympathetic, and swears to discharge his duty hoping for a Nikolai Gogol 1st edition rewardbut the daughter killed turns out Nikolai Gogol 1st edition be the witch he had fatally beaten. The Cossacks start relating stories about comrades, revealing all sorts of terrible exploits by the chief's daughter, whom they know is a witch. One comrade was charmed by her, ridden like a horse, and did not survive long; another had his infant child's blood sucked out at the throat, and his wife killed by the blue necrotic witch who growled like a dog. Inexhaustible episodes about the witch-daughter follow. The first night, Khoma is escorted to the gloomy church to hold vigil alone with the girl's body. Just as he wonders if it may come alive, the girl is reanimated and walks towards him. Frightened, Khoma draws a magic circle of protection around himself, and she is unable to cross the line. The next night, he draws the magic circle again and recites prayer, which render him invisible, and she is seen clawing at empty space. The witch summons unseen, winged demons and monsters, that bang and rattle and screech at the windows and door from the outside, trying to enter. He endures until the rooster's crow. He is brought back, and the people notice half his hair had turned gray. Khoma'a attempted escape into the brambles Nikolai Gogol 1st edition. The squat Viy is hairy with an iron Nikolai Gogol 1st edition, bespattered all over with black earth, its limbs like fibrous roots. The Viy orders its long-dangling eyelids reaching the floor to be lifted so it can see. Khoma, despite his warning instinct, cannot resist the temptation to watch. The Viy is able to see Khoma's whereabouts, the spirits all attack, and Khoma falls dead. The cock crows, but this is already its second morning call, and the "gnomes" who are unable to flee get trapped forever Nikolai Gogol 1st edition the church, which eventually becomes overgrown by weeds and trees. The story ends with Khoma's two friends commenting on his death and how it was his lot in life to die in such a way, agreeing that if his courage held he would have survived. Scholars attempting to identify elements from folklore tradition represents perhaps the largest group. Others seek to reconstruct how Gogol may have put together the pieces from Russian translations of European literary works. Among scholars delving into the folkloristic aspects of the novella, Viktor P. Petrov tries to match individual motifs in the plot with folktales from Afanasyev's collection or elsewhere. Viacheslav V. Ivanov 's studies concentrates on the Viy creature named in the title, and the themes of death and vision associated around it; Ivanov also undertakes a broader comparative analysis which references non-Slavic traditions as well. The Ukrainian folktale translated as "The Soldier's Midnight Watch", set in Kievwas identified as a parallel in this respect by its translator, W. Ralston ; it was taken from Afanasyev 's collection and the Russian original bore no special title, except "Stories Nikolai Gogol 1st edition Witches", variant c. A listing of a number of folktales exhibiting parallels on this, as well as other motifs, was given by Viktor Petrov pen names V. Domontovych [14] and paraphrase of it can be found in Frederik C. Driessen's study avail. However, given that the gnome is not a part of native Ukrainian folkloreor of Eastern Slavonic lore in general, [20] [21] [19] the viy has come to be considered a product Golgol's own imagination rather than folklore. The fact that viy itself shows little sign of existing in the region's folklore record is an additional plain reason for the skepticism. In the past, the viy creature had been an assumed part of genuine Malorussian Ukrainian lore. For instance, Scottish folklorist Charlotte Dempster mentions the "vie" of Little Russia in passing, and floats the idea of the phonetic similarity to the vough or vaugh of the Scottish Highlands. There is a tantalizing claim that a Gogol acquaintance Aleksandra Osipovna Rosset later Smirnova wrote ca. There also exists an old folk tradition surrounding St. Cassian the Unmerciful, who was said in some tales to have eyebrows that Nikolai Gogol 1st edition to his knees and which were raised only on Leap Year. Hugh McLean Slavicist is a noted example of a psychological study of this novella; [33] he identifies the running motif of sexual fulfillment resulting in punishment in this Gogol collection, so that when the student Khoma engages in the ride of the witch, "an obviously sexual act", death is meted out as punishment. Due to the psychosexual nature of the central plot, namely Khoma's killing of the witch and her subsequent transformation into a beautiful Nikolai Gogol 1st edition, the novella has become open to various psychoanalytical Freudian interpretations, [37] thus the attempt by some, to interpret Khoma's strife with the witch in terms of Oedipal desires and carnal relations with the mother. Leon Stilman has stayed clear of such psychoanalytic interpretations, and opted to take the eye motif as symbolic of Gogol's own quest for gaining visionary power an "absolute vision" or "all-seeing eye". The close relationship between the witch and the Viy has been suggested, based on the similarity of her long-eyelashes with the Viy's long-eyelids. Further proposed etymology entwines connection with the word vuy Ukr. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Cossack sotnik interrogates what the young man's relationship was with his daughter, because the girl's dying words which trailed off was "He [Khoma] knows. Harvard University Press.
