Nissim Ezekiel‘s 'Night of the Scorpion' develops a deep impact with an interplay of scenes relating to fair and foul, intelligence and ignorance, science and belief. Ezekiel's depiction of Hindu philosophy has assisted him to evaluate his own religious faith of the Psalms and project the universality of philosophy through his indomitable realization of the self. The poem is in form of a monologue - first person narrative of the sadness that a son had to undergo observing his mother’s pain due to a scorpion sting. The lines do not have the same length and do not rhyme. The lines run on to the next line (this is sometimes called enjambment). The structure of the poem is quite new since it does not actually have much of a regular pattern. There is not any set format in the stanza pattern. This shows a variety of emotions ranging from frustration to resignation but even in his depressed situation the acknowledgement of the hidden glimmer of reality breaks through strengthening his poetic mission. His evaluations highlight the idea of evil and bearing from three points of view, the Hindu, Christian and Jewish. The combination is gained with solid ease. The poem is extremely inspiring and interesting to read.
