​

Answer 1

The poem “The Hero” is written by Rabindranath Tagore. The poem is about a young boy who imagines a plot and he is the hero of the plot. He describes the plot to his mother.

All the incidents described only happen in the imagination of the boy. We know this as the boy himself starts the description by saying to his mother to imagine a situation. The boy imagines such a dangerous situation just to implant courage into his mother. He wants his mother to know that the world is so dangerous but that she got her son to protect her in any way if she happens to fall into danger.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The 'Hero' is a Bengali poem written by Rabindranath Tagore.

• In the first line itself, the narrator says 'Mother, let us imagine we are traveling'.

• In the end of the poem too, he says that these things do not happen in reality.

• So, with this, we understand that the incident are happening only in the boy's imagination.

• He is imagining such a dangerous situation, may be because he wants to do something heroic to impress his mother and his fellow villagers.
