Question

how far does the expression 'A fool and her money are soon courted' apply to nightingale in poem, "the frog and the nightingale

Answer 1

Im not sure tho , would give it a try.

It is indeed a very true statement. A foolish person who doesn't  handle their earnings well  , will soon end up penniless . in the poem , the nightingale is the foolish person who does not make use of her talent . her meek. submissive nature allows her to fall prey to the evil deeds of the cunning frog. She was very timid and undermined her own abilities. she imitated the frog which resulted in her own melodious voice becoming hoarse and mechanical. Her desire for fame left her vulnerable to exploitation by the shrewd and clever frog whose only aim was to maintain his supremacy in the bog.  if she had used her capability and judged the crafty manipulative frog, she would  have to suffer a terrible fate in the end .
