Question

Short Summary of the poem Snake by DH Lawrence

Answer 1

This poem of D.H. Lawrence describes the dual response of the poet to a snake that came to his water-trough to quench his thirst. There is a conflict between his civilized social education and his natural human instincts. The ‘voices’ of the civilized social education tell him that brown-golden snake is poisonous and must be killed. But his natural human instincts lead him to think that the snake was a guest who had sought his hospitality. In the end, his natural human instincts win and he regrets at his ‘paltry’, ‘vulgar’ and ‘mean’ act of throwing a log of wood at the snake who had come to seek his hospitality.
