Question

The poem evokes a sense of tight inner conflict. Discuss the statement in reference to the poem snake

Answer 1

The poet's dual attitude actually represents mankind's conflicting thoughts about each and everything around him. Man is always indecisive about most of the things. Man still is the slave of his animalistic instincts and emotions. Fear is still the predominant emotion in his pseudo-educated heart. So the poet when saw the snake first appreciated its presence, however, the savage instincts eclipsed the civilized instincts; and he felt his survival threatened and thus in spite of himself, threw a log at him.

Answer 2

In the poem the writer, D.H. Lawrence says that he loves individuals. Be that as it may, he would lean toward them to be at a separation. He gets a kick out of the chance to see individuals possessed with their own interests. He doesn't need them to draw close and meddle in his life. Along these lines, he feels that he will have the fulfillment that there is sufficient space for everybody on the planet. 

He is by all accounts a little irritable about humankind. Maybe he doesn't feel that there is just an absence of physical space yet there isn't sufficient calm space to look at one's considerations and internal identity too.
