 nightingale

The nightingale has a shy or timid nature. She is also naive and innocent, as she believed in a stranger could actually help her. She is also extremely trusting, having failed to see the jealous motive of the frog to destroy here mentally and physically. She also doesn't fight for her rights, such as not wanting to sing in bad weather. She also gets addicted to the crowd's applause.
In the end, it's her innocence & a weak character along with lack of self-confidence that leads to her death.

frog

The frog has a boastful and patronizing nature. He also portrays jealousy as the nightingale surpasses him in term of singing and admiration from a crowd who loathed his voice.
He is also condescending, and scolds the nightingale in every mistake she makes in an attempt to lower his rivals self-confidence & self esteem. He succeeds in doing so.
He is also shown to be money minded, with a capitalistic character (selling the nightingale's song for money).

The frog as shown in the poem, The Frog and the Nightingale by Vikram Seth, is a thickskinned character who is impervious to all the insults he was prone to. He was a shrewd opportunist who was materialistic and calculative in nature. He was dismissive and jealous and did not appreciate the nightingale's effort in singing. He was condescending and boasted about his "fantastic baritone" and knowledge of art. He was territorial, possessive and all in all a cunning, unconsiderate, selfish and unrivalled creature.

 FROG - The frog is portrayed as a very cunning creature. He claims to be a famous undisputed and unrivalled creature, and even tells the nightingale that he is the owner of this bog. He earns ticket money from her concerts and also charges her for training. Thus he is very money minded and greedy. The frog’s inconsiderable and selfish nature robs the nightingale’s song of its liveliness, originality and spontaneity. Later he blames her for having no individuality and for lacking originality and freshness. This shows that he is a hypocrite. Answer:

The frog is an unmusical fellow, who nevertheless sings through the night causing his neighbours a lot of discomfort.

He refuses to be cowed by any form of restraint and remains the neighbourhood bully. When the nightingale astounds everybody with her beautiful voice, ther frog found himself jealous and upset with her presence and he set about systematically eliminating his rival through a sinister plot.

Her realises that she has no notion of her abilities. He makes use of that. He makes her believe that he is a maestro and a music critic. He keeps putting her abilities down.

He drives her relentlessly and makes money off her as her 'tutor' as well as from people who wish to listen to her.

Soon she breaks down and dies and the frog rules the roost again. The bog once again echoes with the unmusical croaks of the frog.

NIGHTINGALE - The nightingale is a talented singer. She is very obliging, and on receiving a rich applause from the creatures of the bog, she readily sings for them. She is very simple minded and gullible and fails to see through the frog’s plans and believes him. She is grateful to the frog for training her and unwittingly allows herself to be exploited. She is hardworking though, and practices through the day, in all kinds of weather even though she becomes sleep deprived as she is 'terrified to fail '. In the end, she is unable to take the humiliation and pressure of the frog any more, and dies of a burst vein.

The nightingale is simple hearted,innocent and unsuspecting creature. she is a symbol of innocence.she has no ill- will against anybody.she respects all and thinks that all are like her.that 's why she is easily deceived by the sly and willy frog.she is also timid, obsequeous and fawning.

The Nightingales gullible servile nature results in her tragic death. The pompous, scheming frog plans her destruction after winning her trust. Lack of confidence and good judgement of character can bring misery from which there is no escape.

"their selfless action brought a new nobility to human life gave promise of a new hope for human society".explain this with reference to 'two gentlemen of vereona".

In the poem The Frog and the Nightingale by Vikram Seth, the character of the frog is portrayed as diametrically opposite to that of the nightingale. The frog is shown to be irritating, proud and disdainful. As we see, he is boastful of a talent he doesn’t possess. He sings loudly in a coarse, harsh voice that disturbs everyone. Everyone in the jungle hates him. But all this doesn’t affect him. The frog also feels jealous of nightingale’s popularity. He is also very cruel and greedy as he forces the poor nightingale to sing day and night without taking rest in order to make more money. In this way, he is not a likeable character.

On the other hand, the nightingale is unconfident, timid and shy. But she has a beautiful, melodious voice that makes her very likeable. When she sings for the first time, she impresses everyone instantaneously. Visitors from far off places come to listen to her voice. But she is not proud of all this at all. In fact, she lacks confidence and faith in herself. Not only is she unaware of her own talent, she makes a big mistake by believing strongly in the frog’s judgment of her song. Of course, one should accept criticism positively and try to improve, but not without a careful self-reflection. She bursts her vain in the end and dies. In this way, she can be called as a gullible, tragic character.
