critical analysis the of rock and the bubble by Louisa may Alcott
Answers
‘The Rock and the Bubble’ is a poem written by Louisa May Alcott.
The poem is like a fable which contains a story with different creatures and a moral at the end of the story.
In the poem, the poet describes the conversation between a strong old rock in the sea which was standing still for years and a tiny bubble which wants to move forward in the sea. The bubble demands the rock to move aside but the rock states its condition so gently.
The rock being so gigantic and powerful tries to explain to the bubble as to how she can't move aside. The foolish bubble gets so angry and arrogant but finally, it bursts out and disappears.
The moral of the story is revealed through the voice of the birds from the tree who taught their children as to how they are not supposed to be so foolish and arrogant like the bubble and how they are supposed to be so strong but gentle like the rock.
