Question

give a complete character sketch of the frog highlighting all his trends and characteristics.

Answer 1

According to 'The Frog and the Nightingale' by Vikram Seth

The frog is manipulative, greedy, cruel, crafty, arrogant, heartless and devious.
He manipulates the innocent Nightingale into believing that he is the greatest singer and lyricist of Bingle Bog and that everyone appreciates his singing. He makes her work and suffer in adverse weather conditions to earn money. Yet his greed is insatiable. He is callous and does not think about anyone else other than himself. His evil designs lead the Nightingale to be doubtful of her own capabilities and at last she faces death as a result of her innocence and her habit of trusting everyone easily. The Frog misuses her because she lacks self confidence and believes that he's a Mozart in disguise.
