Rikki Tikki is the hero in this story An example of Rikki Tikki’s heroic character trait is when he heard Nag and Nagaina say that they were gonna kill …show more content…

This shows, that Nagaina is an antagonist because it shows that she wants to do the opposite of what Rikki wants to do. This shows, that she is different to Rikki because all he wants to do is protect his friends and family while she wants to kill them, this proves my thesis because it shows that she built up enough strength to let her husband go even if she didn’t know he was gonna die. Another example, is when she went in the house to kill the family. Rikki wants to save the family.

    For example, “Just under him whizzed by the head of Nagaina, Nag’s wicked wife” (para 29). This proves that Nagaina is a dangerous creature because she strikes almost immediately after Rikki Tikki met Nag and if it was not for Darzee, the tailorbird, Rikki Tikki would have been dead. Nagaina’s character trait is similar to Rikki Tikki because they are both dangerous creatures who are capable of killing deadly animals and this proves the thesis because their loyalty to their families motivated them to protect their loved ones. In addition, “She has gone into the veranda, and—oh, come quickly—she means killing!” (para 82).

You should especially help someone who has helped you before, which is what most of these people (and again, animals) did. Even though you think it was mainly Rikki helping people, there were other people too. But Rikki probably did help the most.
