Question

Summary and analysis of the poem, The Snail by ruskin bond

Answer 1

Hey mate

here is your answer

Answer :-

No doubt the snail is a creature of anti-sensibility, but in the most romanticized sense. That is, the snail is not one of the scuttling crowd who, fearful vis-a-vis contact with others, make their way conventionally through life, lonely but in good company. Instead, the snail the prince of sorts. he is not homeless; he has his house, Which not only secures him, but stands as a frightful dominion of power. The snail is not un-social, he is energettically anti-social. In the snail, sensibility doubles back on itself. The self-collecting power which facilxitates a full retreat at the mere touch of the horns must be read as over-sensibility, not in sensibility. In the fact, the snail much resembles the poet of sensibility,"Well satisfied to be his own / whole treasure"; this could even be Clarissa Harlow. Cowper represents how easily a sensible withdrawal from society can turn into a feeding frenzy. Sensibility can speak for a against integration into the social in a sense it builds it's own crises as fast as it finds solutions this is the case for the snail.

Answer 2

“The Snail “ written by Ruskin Bond says that, 'no doubt' the snail is the 'creature of less sensibility', which is in the most 'romanticized sense'.

That is, the 'snail' is not one among the scuttling crowd they make their way 'conventionally' through 'life', lonely but in 'good company'. Instead, they are a "prince of sorts".

He is not living without home, he has his own house, which not only 'secures him',but stands as a "frightful dominion of power".The 'snail' is not 'un-social', heis energettically anti-social.
