Answer 1

The Frog and the Nightingale’ by a well known poet is an interesting fable which focuses on the cunningness of the so-called musicians and critics. It shows the fact how some people kill the creativity of others in the name of rules and conventions. In this poem, two contrasting characters-The Frog and the Nightingale, are beautifully portrayed. The frog represents domineering and boastful behaviour of such people and the nightingale is a tender, meek and nervous bird who obeys the Frog’s command innocently. Nightingale, the timid bird is so much impressed by the frog that she starts taking training from him. In order to exploit the nightingale, the frog over exerts her to death and succeeds in his tricks of getting rid of his rival.
