What is the satiric aspect in the poem,"The Frog and The Nightingale?"

The satire in the poem might be present in its tone. The tone of
the poem is almost like a fable, a type of rendering that could be expected to be seen in the
poetry intended for a child. The establishment of the scene in the exposition would enhance this.
Additionally, the satire present in the poem's development might lie with how the traditional
teacher/ student relationship is inverted to benefit the former at the cost of the latter.
Traditionally set in literature, the teacher is to help the student. Seth's sarcasm might reside
in how the frog wishes to eliminate the competition by taking the guise of the kindly old teacher
who ruins his student. This is satiric in nature because it constructs a reality that is opposite
of traditional depiction and makes the fundamental statement of the poem, as well. This
particular message is at the heart of the poem that one should not trust so implicitly others'
words in certain contexts.
