Which common human weakness is depicted through the tale of the spider and the fly? Discuss?
Answers
Answer:
Being an exceptionally good predator with a lot of experience, the spider was sure that the fly will definitely melt at his false praises. He exclaims- “How handsome are your gauzy wings, how brilliant are your eyes!” He also says that he wishes to make the fly aware of her own beauty by offering her a looking-glass to look at herself and appreciate her own beauty. The fly becomes softer on this suggestion and thanks to the cunning fly. However, her vanity and foolishness become the end for her. The poet warns and advises people not to pay heed to false flattery and enticements and learn from the fly’s mistake. This tone of falsehood, deception, and meanness that the poem embodies is also representative of the miseries of the beings that are silly enough to fall for that evilness.
