The representative is depicted in Gogol's work as a cunning, insidious prankster. The devil from the fairy tale "The Night Before Christmas" is the personification of this evil. Gogol was a man of deep faith, and therefore the main idea of the story, which brought him fame, was the idea that a person is always able to find the strength to overcome evil. The writer himself witnessed the bright celebration of Christmas in Ukraine. The fairy tale "The Night Before Christmas" was written not only on the basis of theoretical knowledge of Ukrainian folklore.
The work revealed to Russian readers the beauty and originality of the Ukrainian region. But the success that the fairy tale "The Night Before Christmas" and other romantic works published in the thirties won inspired Gogol to continue writing. The author was then only twenty-two years old, and at that time he had not yet finally made the decision to devote his life to literary creativity. But most of all, the fairy tale "The Night Before Christmas" strikes with an abundance of colorful living images. The writer created this work "in one breath." The author had plenty of material to write this story, since he devoted quite a lot of time to the study of folklore and customs that reigned in the Ukrainian village. The fairy tale "The Night Before Christmas" was written by Nikolai Gogol at an early stage of his work.
