337 Words2 Pages

Nagaina is an antagonist for the story “Rikki Tikki Tavi”. Nagaina is a cruel ruthless snake whose soul purpose is to kill british people in India. Nagaina shows cruelty, purpose, and sorrow. These characteristics are just a few that I believe make this particular character interesting.

Nagaina as I stated before has many traits that you could find in a villain but a few even a hero could have. As I said she is quite cruel this quote shows that “…She used to eat small frogs as well as bird eggs…”(26) In my point of view that's cruel and yet the way of life. Snakes will kill left and right it's in there nature so ya know can't put too much blame on her. So nagaina is just a snake with the common enemy of mongoose.

Nagaina is a sorrowful snake

    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
