cultural commentary:
Image of phraseology. correlates with the zoomorphic code of culture, i.e., with a set of ideas about the animal world, the representatives of which as such or their attributes can serve as standards or symbols. According to ancient ideas, the snake is an ambiguous image: it combines male and female, water and fire symbolism, negative and positive principles [cf. A wife and a husband are a snake indeed (Dal V.I. Proverbs and sayings of the Russian people. M., 2001. P. 113)]; it is poisonous and healing. A snake is both an unclean creature and a source of evil, but at the same time it can help a person.
The image is based on phraseols. lies a zoomorphic metaphor, which reflects the stereotypical Russian idea of a snake. In the form of phraseologists. the idea of a snake, formed under the influence of Christianity, is updated: it is insidious, vindictive, ungrateful and dangerous, and can deliver an unexpected blow (cf. warm a snake on your chest). In the Bible, the serpent appears as the personification of Satan (Gen. 3: 1-6; 2 Cor. 11: 3; Ap. 12: 9, 14, 15), distinguished by cunning (Matthew 10: 16), malice (Matthew 23: 33), ferocity (Ps. 57:5; Proverbs 23:32) and deceit (Gen. 49:17).
Image of phraseology. reflects the perception of the snake as a standard of deceit and is based on the idea of a snake hidden, lurking, invisible and therefore especially dangerous.
In others European languages this image has analogues going back to a quote from the Roman poet Virgil: “Frigidus latet agnius in herba” - lit. “A cold snake hides in the grass” (“Eclogues”, III, 19); Wed in English - a snake in the grass (literally “snake in the grass”).

Go to him, you underwater snake
come under your wing and protection
Kalinovich like you!
A.F. Pisemsky,"A Thousand Souls"
You are not my daughter now,
you are many e snake underwater
F.M. Dostoevsky,"Mistress"
One day I asked my now long-time friend what he thought: am I insidious? What is deceit?
The dictionary says that "Insidiousness
“This is malicious intent covered by ostentatious goodwill.”
In Russian, deceit has always been symbolized by a snake. With the onset of cold weather, snakes fall asleep, finding a secluded place (for example, under a log), and at this time the venom of snakes is especially dangerous. The cunning of a person who hides for a while and then reveals himself at an unexpected moment from an unpleasant side is compared with the cunning of a subterranean snake. Hence the phraseological unit - snake in the grass
.
I think that deceit is a disgusting quality in a person. It’s better to be a visible monster than to pretend to be a kind creature.
I remembered a scene from a horror movie: a beautiful little girl with blond hair was standing against the wall with her back to the main character. pink dress and sobs bitterly, covering her face with her tiny childish hands. The boy comes up to her and gently touches her shoulder: “What happened? Don’t cry, little one, come with me...” She turns around and... it turns out the most terrible monster with an ugly grin and remnants of human flesh in his mouth. Brrrr... It’s no wonder that I remembered this scene for the rest of my life. The authors cleverly used the horror story of a subterranean snake!
It’s the same in life... If you’ve started working on yourself, bury your monsters and don’t even let them waver. Kind, cheerful, happy - always be like that. Is it difficult? Very. I’m tired, I’m sick, but my loved ones have nothing to do with it. If you allow the serpentine essence to come out even once, the relationship is lost. And earning trust will be a hundred times more difficult than at the beginning of the relationship, or even impossible.
If you can't cope, it's better to move away and be alone.
What am I talking about? Yes, about one person... Little bastards crawl out of him, a handsome man, and no matter how hard he tries, I can’t get close - it’s unpleasant... I don’t trust...
Snake in the grass...
I was born in the forest, under a damp log -
She spent her creeping childhood there.
They call me a subterranean snake
I am a symbol of betrayal, deceit and evil.
Because of a drop of poison in my harmless teeth
People's prejudices towards me are so strong -
Neighbors and matchmakers often call me,
Sometimes - even the mother of a beloved and tender wife.
But sometimes I get upset and bite someone
And the nightingales sing sadly over the guy...
I ask you not to blame me for harshness -
These are all my sore nerves.
I wish I could cross out my whole life and in the spring,
It’s like changing your skin and leaving it in the bushes.
I don't want to be a snake anymore!
I would like to fly in the sky as a dove of peace!
