Question

Write the summary of Nissim Ezekiel’s Night of the Scorpion in about 150-200
words.

Answer 1

Answer:

It starts in a house at night where it is raining and a scorpion, in order to take some shelter, comes to the house. This poem is about how the scorpion stung the poet's mother and the mother's love for her children, to crawl beneath a sack of rice.

The poet dramatizes a battle of ideas fought at night in lamplight between good and evil; between darkness and light; between rationalism and blind faith. And out of this confusion, there arises an unexpected winner – the selfless love of a mother.

The poem reveals that mothers, all across the world are so caring, protective about their children that they don't hesitate even risking their own lives for the sake of their children and family members. ... Here the mother was thankful to God for sparing her children from the scorpion's bite
