Question

Hey there'please give me the theme of the poem Porus and his Elephant

Answer 1

The poem reflects the faithfulness of an elephant towards his master.

“Marry Dobson” has written this poem to show the faithfulness of a beast who cannot talk like a human being but still he saves his master from the sharp swords of enemies. This faithful beast is the elephant. When the fight begins between the two kings, Porus is wounded and falls down from his elephant but the elephant comes to his rescue. He defends him from the sharp swords and arrows of enemies. Although he is wounded, he lifts his master on his back and takes him to a safe place to save him. In this way he shows his faithfulness towards his master by sacrificing his life for his sake.
