The poem 'The Frog And The Nightingale' is a satire on shallowness, opportunism and commercialisation of art in today's life. It is also a kind of parody of the human world wherein Vikram Seth has gone about to discuss and bring into lime light the negativities and the shallowness that fills the world and the society of human beings. Through the poem, he takes a dig at all those people who lack talent but yet are so manipulative and opportunistic that they destroy actual talent for their own selfish purposes.
The poem is also about commercialization of art where people forget talent and become more money - minded and sell art, perhaps even their own integrity of character for earning some fast bucks.
The frog in the poem is the representative of all those shallow - minded, opportunistic and manipulative people who torture the talented individuals like the nightingale who prove to be too gullible for the world. The frog shows a pettiness of character when he tries to drive out nightingale from Bingle Bog merely to regain his position as the 'untitled kind' of the Bog.
He has no appreciation for art, infact no knowledge of art. Yet, he manages to destroy the nightingale because of her blind faith and her belief in him.
