in this world deprived of moral values, talent is often misused and misdirected comment with reference to the poem the frog and Nightingale
Answers
It is absolutely true, owing to degradation in moral values the talented people often have to suffer and face undue stress.
In the poem ‘talent’ is represented by ‘the nightingale’ and ‘moral degradation’ is represented by the ‘frog’.
Our society is replete with shrewd and cunning people who by the dint of their cunningness and craftiness treat the talented but inexperienced people unfairly. However educated they might be, but the moment they see a more talented person in their field, they become jealous of them and try to get rid of them.
In spite of modernization of civilization, man's basic instincts are as unrefined as they were in the past! The poem ‘The Frog Nightingale’ highlights and depicts this bitter truth vividly. The frog represents that class of people who get jealous of the talented youngsters and try to influence their life by their power, cunningness, and schemes.
At the end he managed to get rid of the talented nightingale through his crafty machinations and influence.
Even in real life many talented people end up as failures.
Answer:
The morale of the poem is that we must believe in ourselves and not blindly follow anyone and heed their advice without conclusive evidence that they have good intentions for us.
The nightingale was innocent but despite her talent she was least confident on her own ability.
On the other hand, the frog was cunning and stupid and he exploited the innocent nature of the bird, which was not desirable.
