 Vikram Seth was born in
Calcutta in 1952.
 He left India to study at
Oxford
 His first novel, The
Golden Gate, is written
entirely in tetrameter
sonnets,
 He won the
Commonwealth Poetry
Prize in 1986and the
The Frog The bog
The Nightingale
 Polite, soft, timorous. –
“sorry was that you who
spoke”
 Nervous and shy- “Did
you, did you like my
song”
 Timid and polite – “This is
a fairy tale. And you are
Mozart in disguise..”
The Frog
 Territorial and boastful –
I’m the frog who owns the
tree. Technique was fine,
But it lacked certain force
 Patronising – Without
proper training …You’ll
remain a begnner.
 Possessive, greedy – “We
must aim for better
billings…..”
 Arrogant and
condescending – “I tried to
teach her… a stupid
creature”
This story is about a frog and a nightingale
who lived in the Bingle Bog.
 This poem by Vikram Seth is a musical parody
where the Frog and the Nightingale represent
two contrasting characters.
 The frog is the boastful, domineering character,
whereas the nightingale has been portrayed as
a meek, nervous, polite bird who is afraid of the
frog. She submits to him without any protest.
 The poem has been told in the style of a story.
Starts “ Once upon a time … then the poem
progresses in a definite direction and finally
concludes with the death of the bird.
Some point to be noted are ….
 The use of the rhyming scheme makes the
poem rhythmic and musical.
 The poet employs interesting comparison like
– the nightingale called the frog, Mozart.
 The manner in which the frog trains the
nightingale has been beautifully described.
 The irony is that the creature which doesn’t
even know what music is tries to teach music
to a bird like nightingale who possesses a
melodious voice.
