Night of the scorpion" is a brilliant narrative poem. The protagonist might be the poet himself or a narrator who is the creation of his imagination. The mother is stung by a scorpion on a rainy night. The mother is the most prominent figure in an Indian home. So all the attention is focused on her. They are simple and good and believe in the efficiency of prayer. They believe that prayer can ward off the evil influence. They are a set of superstitious people. They search for the scorpion but in vain.
They believe that if the scorpion moves, its poison in the victim will also move and spread all over. The words they speak to console the woman are also related to their superstitious beliefs. Her suffering is caused by the sins she committed in the previous birth. Her endurance will reduce the effect of her sins in the previous birth and it will also make her life happy in the next birth.
The good and evil in the world has to be balanced and therefore her endurance of pain will reduce the amount of evil. This also reminds us of the peasants' belief in rebirth. They are illiterate, ignorant and superstitious and they do not know anything other than turn into ritualistic practices and incantations.
