(The spider and the fly -POEM-ISC) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The theme of "The Spider and the Fly" is that people should not allow themselves to be manipulated by others who prey on their vanity. In the poem, the spider first tries to inveigle the fly into entering the spider's house by telling the fly how comfortable his parlor is and how welcoming he will be to the fly. The spider then promises the fly a rest on his bed and treats from his pantry. The fly wisely resists these attempts to get her to enter the spider's house; however, she cannot resist the spider's flattery, as he praises her wings and eyes and offers her the chance to look into his mirror. Motivated by her great vanity, the fly enters the spider's lair and is entrapped. The poet tells the reader not to be tricked by "idle, silly, flattering words" at the end of the poem. The theme is that vanity will make people susceptible to doing foolish things, so people need to be wary of others who flatter them only to deceive them.
