How The Camel Got His Hump Summary

In the poem How the Camel got his Hump, Rudyard Kipling compares man with a camel. Or precisely, he compares man’s posture with that of a camel’s. The poetic voice expresses here the notion of laziness, and what it eventually does to a man. The camel’s hump is absolutely not a pleasant sight to see is what the poet infers. And the sight of such a hump is visible to the spectators at a zoo. The poet here associates the hump with inaction. A camel stuck in a cage does not have anything fruitful to do apart from engaging in leisurely actions. The poet then goes on to say that the sight which is uglier is that of us having to carry a hump, for we have “too little to do”. Here, like a camel bound in zoo having nothing productive to do, we too like the animal might develop a hump when we engage ourselves in simply doing nothing. Hump is thus a symbol for lethargy.
