The Lake Beetle as Groom

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lake Beetle as Groom (Russian: Озерный жук — жених, romanized: Ozernyy zhuk - zhenikh) is a Russian fairy tale (skazka) collected by Russian philologist Dimitry M. Balashov [ru]. It deals with the marriage between a human maiden and a lake beetle that changes into a human named Osip. The heroine's mother murders her husband and the maiden curses her children to become birds at the end of the tale.

The tale is classified in the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index as type ATU 425M, "The Snake as Bridegroom", a subtype related to the international cycle of the Animal as Bridegroom, in that a human maiden marries a man that can assume animal shape due to a curse or his enchanted nature. The tale is also connected to the Lithuanian and Baltic story of Eglė, the Queen of Serpents.

Source

[edit]

The tale was originally collected by Russian philologist Dimitry M. Balashov [ru] from informant Elisaveta Ivanovna Sidorova, from Tersky region, in the White Sea, with the title "Озерный жук — жених" ("Lake Bettle - Groom").[1] Scholar Isidor Levin later translated the tale as Der Seekäfer als Bräutigam.[2]

Summary

[edit]

An old woman has an only daughter. One day, the girl goes with other girls to bathe in the lake, and leave their clothes on the shore. When they return to fetch their clothes, a beetle appears on the maiden's dress and proposes to her. Her friends put on her clothes, save for her, who is convinced to accept the beetle's proposal. The girl accepts the animal's proposal and retrieves her dress, while the beetle jumps back into the lake. The girl returns home and keeps quiet about the incident.

However, on the same night, the girl and her mother hear some knocking on their house, the voices mentioning something about marriage, and the girl tells her mother about everything. The next night, the same voices knock on the woman's door and demand the bride. The third night, the woman decides to give into their demands, puts her daughter in a funeral dress and sings a funeral lament, as she delivers the girl to the voices, considering her dead since she is know living in the lake.

The story tells that the human maiden marries another "kidnapped" person that was living with the "lake people", named Osip Tsarevich. The girl and Osip have two children, a boy and a girl. One day, she mutters aloud she wishes she could visit her mother back on land. The lake people allow for her visit, and Osip teaches her a command: "Osip, Osip, take me", for her to use when she returns from her visit. The girl takes her children with her and goes to her mother's house. The woman rejoices in finding her daughter is alive and asks her how she lives down there. The girl herself tells her mother about the secret command that allows for her return, then goes to sleep.

While her daughter is asleep, the woman takes an axe and goes to the lake, then calls for Osip. Osip's head emerges from the lake and the woman chops off his head, then returns home to sleep. The next morning, the girl says goodbye to her mother and returns to the lake with her children. She repeats the secret command, but a storm rages on the lake, the water foams blood, and a head, Osip's, floats up to the surface, then floats back down. The maiden turns her son into a dove and her daughter into a swallow, and bids then fly away, while she transforms herself into a cuckoo. The story states that the girl's mother thought that by killing Osip, she would stay on land, but the cuckoo is forever a widow.[3][1][2]

Analysis

[edit]

Tale type

[edit]

The tale is classified, in the East Slavic Folktale Classification (Russian: СУС, romanized: SUS), as tale type SUS 425M, "Жена ужа (змея, гада)"[4] ("The Snake's Wife"[5][6] or "The Grass Snake's Wife").[7] According to Russian scholarship, tale type 425M sometimes merges with ATU 703, "The Snow-Maiden" in many Russian variants.[8]

The East Slavic type corresponds, in the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index, as tale type ATU 425M, "The Snake as Bridegroom" (previously, "Bathing Girl's Garments Kept"): the heroine goes for a swim in the lake, but when she goes to get her clothes a snake (or other animal) sits on her clothes in exchange for her agreeing to marry it; the heroine accepts, and later her animal husband goes to fetch her; the heroine and the animal husband, who becomes human, have children; she takes them to visit her human family and learns a secret song or command that allows for their return; the heroine's children eventually leak the secret to her human family and they kill her animal husband; the heroine and her children try to return to the animal husband, but discover he is dead; lastly, the heroine curses her children to become trees or birds.[9][10][11]

Motifs

[edit]

The heroine's secret code

[edit]

Other variations lie in the secret code the wife learns from her snake husband, and in the fate of the heroine and their children (sometimes all girls; sometimes all boys): they are either transformed into trees or into birds and disappear forever.[12][13][14]

The children's transformation

[edit]

According to researcher Galina Kabakova, the fate of the children at the end of the tale is important to determine the origin of that particular variant (based on a geographical method): in the main Lithuanian versions, mother and children are transformed into trees, a motif that occurs in versions collected from the Belarus's border between Poland and Lithuania, and in Russian versions collected in Lithuania. On the other hand, if the tale ends with the transformation of the family into birds or reptiles, it is a tale from East Slavic origin.[15] In Jan-Öjvind Swahn [sv]'s monograph, he considered the bird transformation in other texts to be a "variation" on the motif of the tree transformation.[16]

Galina Kabakova notes that, among the East Slavic populations, the tale type ATU 425M assumes the features of an etiological tale:[17][18] as remarked by professor Natalie Kononenko, it shows the origins of the cuckoo, the lark and the nightingale.[19] In addition, in these variants, the mother-in-law is the one that kills the snake husband,[20] and the heroine's son "almost always" becomes a nightingale.[21]

Variants

[edit]

Although it can be considered a tale type developed in the Baltic area, since most of the variants have been recorded there,[22][23][a] variants are reported by scholar Leonardas Sauka to have been collected in nearby countries: 23 variants in Estonia (near Lake Peipus);[25] 150 Lithuanian versions; 89 Latvian versions; 28 from Russia; 22 from Belarus; 6 in Ukraine; 3 from Poland; 2 from Bulgaria. Variants have also been found from Tatar (4 tales) and Kazakh (1 version) sources.[26] Altogether, the variants collected outside Lithuania and Latvia, from 11 countries, amount to 106 versions.[27] The tale is also said to be known in Germany, Finland and among the "Cheremis" (Mari people).[28] Similarly, according to Russian folklorist Lev Barag [ru], despite Stith Thompson's opinion that the tale type existed in Lithuania, it was also reported among East Slavs (in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus), in Poland, Bulgaria, and in Latvia and Estonia.[29]

Eastern Europe

[edit]

Professor Jack V. Haney stated that variants of type 425M appear "frequently recorded among the Russians", but "less frequently by Belarusians and Ukrainians".[24]

In addition, another line of Russian scholarship states that the "etiological" tale of the snake husband is "common" ('распространенной', in the original) in Polesian tradition: a girl goes to bathe in the river, a snake sits on her clothes and asks her to marry him; they marry, she lives with him in his underwater palace and bears him a son and a daughter; later, she goes to visit her mother, who learns the secret command to summon the snake husband and kills him; upon discovering her dead husband, the girl turns into a cuckoo, her son into a nightingale, and her daughter into a swallow.[30]

Russia

[edit]

Researcher Varvara Dobrovolskaya states that variants in Russia were collected in Kursk, Bashkiria, Ryazan, Voronezh and in East Siberia by the Lena river.[31]

British scholar William Ralston Shedden-Ralston translated a variant collected by A.A. Erlenwein from the Tula Government. In this tale, The Water Snake (or Ujak), an old woman's daughter went to bathe with other girls in the pond. When they finished bathing, a snake appeared and hid the maiden's shift in exchange for her hand in marriage. The girl, dismissing the snake's fanciful notion, agreed to anyway. Some time later, a "troop" of snakes came to the maiden's house to force her to fulfill her promise. The snakes escorted her out of the house and into her fiancée's underwater palace. Three years passed and she returned to her mother's house with two little children, a boy and a girl. When conversing with her mother, the maiden unwittingly revealed her husband's name (Osip) and the incantation to summon him. After she put her daughter and grandchildren to bed, the old woman uttered the incantation, drew forth the snake husband, in human form, out of the palace and decapitated him with an axe. The next morning, the maiden returned to the pond and, after realizing her mother's heinous act, condemned her daughter to become a wren, her son a nightingale and herself a cuckoo.[32]

In a tale collected from a Karelian source with the title "Парень-гад" ("The Reptile Beloved"), twelve maidens go to bathe in the sea and leave their clothes on the shore. After they bathe and play in the water, the maidens return to fetch their clothes, when one of them notices there is a reptile lying on theirs. The reptile promises to return her clothes if she agrees to marry her, to which she answers yes so she can get her clothes back. The girl returns home that same evening and the reptile comes to take his bride. The girl and her mother board up the doors and windows and wait for a sudden storm to pass. This happens for the next two nights, until the girl agrees to go with the reptile. She marries the reptile, which lies on the rivers, and she has two children with him when he becomes human. Suddenly, the girl's mother asks her how she can summon her reptile husband, and the girl reveals the secret. The woman takes a scythe and goes to the river to summon the reptile husband to kill him. The girl rushes back to the lake and, seeing her dead husband, curses her two children to become white swans and herself a gray cuckoo.[33]

In a Russian tale from Voronezh with the title "С ЧЕГО КУКУШКА У НАС ЗАВЕЛАСЬ" ("How the Cuckoo appeared to us"), a couple have a daughter. The man dies, and the widowed mother raises her daughter Masha alone, never letting her out of the house. One day, when the girl is old enough, she leaves with some girls to swim in the river. When she comes out of the water, she sees a snake on her garments. The animal agrees to return her clothes if she agrees to a marriage with it. Masha's friends return home, but the girl goes to live with the snake. The next year, Masha returns to the shore with a girl in her arms, and asks her husband how she can return home; the snake teaches her a command to summon him. The next year, Masha brings home her two children, a boy and the same girl, to visit their grandmother. Masha goes home and naïvely revels her mother the secret command to summon her husband. After the old woman puts her family to sleep, she takes an ax, goes to the shore, summons the snake and kills it. The next day, Masha goes alone to the shore and tries to summon her husband, the snake, but she finds him dead. She returns home, takes her children and brings them to the forest. They sit under an oak tree, Masha curses her daughter to be a little bird, her son a nightingale, and herself into a cuckoo. It happens thus, and they fly to different directions.[34]

In another tale from Voronezh Oblast titled "Маша и Уж" ("Masha and the Snake"), a girl named Masha is invited by her friends to swim in the river, and asks if her mother allows it. The woman does and Masha joins the other girls in the water, leaving their clothes on the banks. While they come out of the water, the girls fetch their garments, by Masha sees a snake on hers. The snake asks if Masha will marry it. The girl agrees, if only to shoo out the snake and get her clothes back. She goes back home, and her mother scolds her for her decision. Years later, snakes come to her house and take her to their master in a pond. She lives underwater with the snake and bears him two children, then comes out of the pond to visit her mother. Masha brings her children to meet their grandmother, and she reveals her mother the secret command to summon her snake husband. Later, the woman goes to the pond with an ax, goes to the pond and summons the snake husband to kill him. The next day, Masha returns with her children to the edge of the pond and tries to summon the snake, but can only see blood at the surface. Realizing what happened, she curses her daughter to become a little bird, her son a nightingale, and herself into a cuckoo.[35]

In a Russian tale titled "Южик" ("Yuzhik"), some girls go to take a bathe in the water, and when they leave, one of them finds a "yuzh" on her clothes, which offers the garments in return for marrying it. The girl agrees and goes home. Later, the "yuzh" goes to the girl's house to take her to his underwater kingdom. Two years later, the girl, now mother to a pair of children (a boy and a girl), wishes to return home to visit her mother. Her underwater husband agrees to her visit. The girl takes her children to visit their grandmother. The old woman goes to the edge of the pond and summons the animal husband, Yuzhenka, then kills him. After the killing, Yuzhenka's wife curses her daughter to become a nightingale to sing at dawn, her son to become a swallow and fly over the water, and herself into a cuckoo, to cry over her lost Yuzhenka.[36]

Russian scholarship states that a tradition in Pskov holds that the daughter of the snake husband turns into a frog.[37]

Another Russian variant of tale type ATU 425M was collected in Tver with the title "Уженька и Маша" ("Uzhenka and Masha").[38][39]

Ukraine

[edit]

Researcher Galina Kabakova translated and published a variant from Ukraine titled Les coucous, les alouettes et les reptiles.[40] She also cited variants wherein the daughter becomes an ortie (nettle) or a cuckoo, and the son becomes a basilisk or a nightingale.[41]

English scholar A. H. Wratislaw collected the tale Transformation into a Nightingale and a Cuckoo (Russian: Prevrastenye v Solovya i kukushku) from "Little Russia" in his Sixty Folk-Tales from Exclusively Slavonic Sources. In this tale, a human maiden falls in love with a snake and they both live in an underground palace made of crystal. She becomes the mother of twins (a girl and a boy). Her old mother seizes a sickle and "rushed into the country". The maiden "saw she had manifest death before her" and, by her command, orders her children to become birds: the boy a nightingale and the girl a cuckoo, and it is implied that a dead nettle is what remained of her.[42]

Poland

[edit]

A variant from Poland has been translated into English with the title Egle and Zaltis.[43]

According to scholarship, variants collected in northern Poland, in the ancient territories of the Yotvingians (Jatvings), show the Égle's twelve brothers are eventually punished by Baltic thunder god Perkūnas.[44]

Bronisław Sokalski published another Polish variant with the title Król wężów ("The Serpent King"). In this tale, three sisters are bathing in the water. The two elders leave, while the youngest, named Lilla, tries to find her dress and sees a snake on it. The animal makes her promise to marry him in exchange for the dress. The next day, two snakes come to her house to fetch her to their master.[45][b]

In a Polish tale translated as Jegle and the King of the Lakes, a fisherman has two sons and goes to fish in the lake, when, suddenly, a storm begins to rage on the lake, threatening to drown the man. However, he is rescued by a mysterious man with greenish hair who introduces himself as Zaltis, the King of the Lakes. The fisherman is thankful for the rescue and asks what he can offer in return; Zaltis says he wants the fisherman's most valuable thing, and promises to grant him fish for his whole life. The fisherman returns home and discovers his wife had given birth to a baby girl named Jegle. Years pass, the fisherman's wife dies and Jegle runs the house while her father and brothers are away. She likes to spend her days dipping her feet in water, and a large green fish plays between her feet. Later, an old woman pays a visit to Jegle in search of her, and she turns into a woman, saying she brings news from Jegle's bridegroom, Zaltis, and bids the girl meets him by the edge of the lake the following day. Jegle goes to the lake to meet Zaltis, who is in human form, and takes her to his underwater palace. They live happily for a time, until the day Jegle begins to miss her father and wishes to visit him. Zaltis agrees to let her visit his father-in-law, and he brings her to the surface world. Jegle is happy to visit her father, but her brothers secretly decide to take her back from the King of the Lakes. After her visit, Jegle goes to the edge of the lake to wait for her husband; her brothers follow her and wait for Zaltis to come out of the lake. As soon as the lacustrine king emerges, his brothers-in-law try to grab him, but his magic turns them into stones. Zaltis takes Jegle back to their palace, and explains her brothers will be restored to normal after a while.[47]

Belarus

[edit]

According to scholarship, only one Belarusian variant of the tale contains the daughter's transformation into a frog.[37]
