Nag is a Cobra in ¨Rikki-Tikki-Tavi¨ by Rudyard Kipling. Nag rules the garden in terror with his wife Nagaina. When Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, a young mongoose, comes to the garden he tries to stop Rikki by killing him. In these next few paragraphs I will prove without a doubt that Nag is sly, logical, and harsh.

    Domestic violence is a fast growing worldwide phenomenon which expresses through physical and psychological abuse of the victim by the violent side. As part of it, there are men who abuse their women in different ways, who can be categorized as "Pit-bulls" or "Cobras" by different features. In this essay I will present differences and similarities between the two types of abusive men. On the one hand, "Cobras" and "Pit-bulls" are very alike when it comes to decision making, because they have both chosen a violent pattern of aggression and abuse in order to deal with marriage or couple conflicts instead of using other ways such as: using more verbal communication with their women, getting professional help from a marriage/couple counselor or putting more time and effort into working marriage/couple problems out in a creative way. But, the two types make a full aware choice of turning to violence and abuse as a solution to problems, they do have different ways of expressing it, but the decision to turn to violence remains the same.
