Question

The nightingale placed her blind trust in the frog but he exploited her.with the reference to the poem,elaborate the statement,"Betrayal always comes from those whom you trust".

Answer 1

It is a harsh reality; but it is quite true we are betrayed by people whom we trust the most. These betrayals leave us devastated and wrecked. In the poem 'The Frog and the Nightingale', the naive nightingale trusted the cunning frog blindly; he took undue advantage of her naivety. He not only gave her wrong training, but also exploited her. As a result, she was deeply hurt; she became terribly depressed and following the frog's shrewd intentions died. We must not trust anyone blindly.
