Why is the snake described as the king in exile?

 Just like when a king is banished or expelled from a kingdom, man is responsible for sending away the snake. Man is the sole reason for separating the snake from its natural habitat. The case of the snake is same with that of the king because just as an exiled king comes back with vengeance in his heart, the snake would also come back from the underworld someday soon. The snake awaits to be crowned again, displaying his power over his own territory or domain.

D.H.LAWRENCE referred the snake as a king in exile because, it was a hot day in sicily , italy .

the snake was very tired living under its burrow. as it was very hot , there built very high temerature inside the burrow , which was not tolerated by the snake , so it came out frm it. as snake is a active , quick creature, it is referred , bt as it could nt tolerate the pressure under its burrow , it makes snake as if it was an exile .so the poet referred snake as a king in exile.

I think this is the answer
