Chapter 5 – The Tale
of Melon City (Vikram Seth)
Theme
The poem "The Tale of Melon" depicts a realm
inhabited by individuals lacking wisdom. It narrates how a trivial incident
results in the demise of the king, showcasing the foolishness of the kingdom's
inhabitants. Despite being initially portrayed as placid and fair, the king
ironically becomes irate over a minor issue and commands the execution of the
offenders. The supposed wise men in the kingdom are also revealed to be fools,
opting for a melon as the new ruler due to their lack of discernment. Overall,
the poem appears to be crafted for sheer amusement, devoid of any apparent
message or moral lesson.
