    The Night of the Scorpion: Critical Appreciation

    The title of the poem, Night of the Scorpion is very apt and suitable
    for the theme of the poem. The poem is written by the great Indian
    poet Nissim Ezekiel. The poem is based on the real instance of the
    poet and that instance the poet expressed in the poem Night of the
    Scorpion.
    The theme / central idea of the poem is about how people are so
    superstitious. The poet tells the instance when the scorpion stung
    his mother and when all his neigbours came to know about the
    incident, they started to come to the poet’s home. They talked
    about so many myths and superstitions about the next birth,
    previous birth sins, and purification of body and spirit. At the end of
    the poem, the poet expresses the mother’s love and affection for
    her children.
    The poem is free verse. It does not have any rhyming words or
    rhyme scheme. In the poem, there are figures of speech such as
    Simile, Metaphor, Repetition, Alliteration, and Personification,
    Onomatopoeia to make the poem more effective. An example of
    Simile is The peasants came like the swarm of flies. The language
    of the poem is simple and in a narrative form.
