    Rikki feels he did a fine job himself and the father has no reason to do that. Another example of Rikki’s excessive pride is found on page 799. He states, “The boy is safe, and it was I—I—I that caught Nag by the hood last night in the bathroom.’ Then he began to jump up and down, all four feet together, his head close to the floor.

    “When the house is emptied of people, said Nagaina to her husband, “he will have to go away, and then the garden will be our own again.(pg. 12-13)” That states that Nagaina is diabolical because she wants to kill Rikki and Teddy’s family to have the garden to Nag and herself. Furthermore, Nagaina is angry with Rikki for ruining her plan to get the garden, so would try to kill him and his family.

    This shows that Nagaina was in despair after Nag had died, and quickly went to the veranda to kill Rikki Tikki’s family for revenge, neglecting Darzee’s wife and leaving her eggs out in the open unprotected. This character trait of Nagaina is different to Rikki Tikki’s character trait because unlike Rikki Tikki, Nagaina did not think about her actions as she rushed to the veranda to kill the family and this proves the thesis because Nagaina went to the veranda to kill the humans so her eggs will be protected from the “bang-stick.” In conclusion, Nagaina, the antagonist of the story, is a dangerous and vicious character and is similar to Rikki Tikki because she is very protective of her loved

  • How Does The Author Create A Sense Of Empathy In The Rattler

    1239 Words  | 5 Pages

    Rather than portray the rattlesnake as a vicious and offensive creature many associate them as, the author chooses to highlight a different side: a rational and defensive one. From the beginning, the man often explains how less threatening and more cautious the snake’s actions were. In their first encounter, the man describes that the snake “held his ground in calm watchfulness [and] was not even rattling yet.” For whatever reason the snake continues to remain calm, this is more of a rational approach to assessing a threat by choosing to see what the man will do next. The author most likely chooses to show the snake’s characteristics as such so it can be considered when debating the decision of taking his life.

In “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, the protagonist, Rainsford, falls off his boat on his way to a hunting trip and must swim to a nearby island where he meets the antagonist, General Zaroff, a hunter much the same as Rainsford. However, Rainsford soon finds out that Zaroff is in the sport of hunting humans and that he will be hunted the next day.
