explain the political satire of the lines the next to pass the city gate will choose the next king from the poem the tale of the melon city
Dear student,
The citizens were given the right to choose someone who could help them by appointing a king and the citizens decided to give that power to the person who would be the first to pass the gate. The man turned out to be a madman and he decided to crown a melon as a king. The subjects now had a king who could not interfere in their matters and they were free to do whatever they wanted to. Thus, the situation is actually a satire on the political situation of a state where people do not want to be governed by any one person and give away the decision making authority to a foolish man.
Regards
