Answer 2

Answer:

In the poem Frog and Nightingale, the poet Vikram Seth wanted to explain about the nature of backbiter and selfish people, who utilize the benefits from artist’s work. The poet’s main concern is about conveying the value of self confidence. In this poem frog is represented as selfish and heartless creature, who is only concerned about making a profit whereas Nightingale who does not have self confidence and due to lack of confidence she lost her life. We can learn a lesson from this poem is that we should have enough confidence on what we do instead of believing on others judgment.
