theme of the poem the snake trying
Answers
The Snake Trying is a poem about a snake trying to save itself from a human with a stick trying to harm it.
Most of us view Snakes as harmful and devious creatures, but the pet has a stark contrast in his view of snakes as is evident from how he describes the movements of the snake as he strives to evade the stick that wishes to harm it, thereby establishing that fact that animals don’t harm humans as an act of aggression but as an act of self defense.
Theme of the Poem
In the poem ‘The Snake Trying’ in the first stanza the poet describes how a snake is trying to get away from a man who is chasing him with a stick. The movement of snake is graceful and elegant. The way it curves in the water is quite remarkable to look at. The snake does not stick to one straight path to get out of the reach of the man, but wends its way in and out of that path as it is travelling along the water. In the second stanza the poet entreats the man with the stick to let the snake escape. It will hide into the reeds without hurting even children. It will hide into the green slim reeds.
