Why is the poet comparing the sea to the mother, the clouds to the brothers and the waves to the comrades, in the poem 'Coromandel Fishers

By comparing the sea, clouds, and waves as mother, brothers and comrades, the poet shows the close relationship of nature and the fishermen.

Explanation:

Sarojini Naidu's poem "Coromandel Fishers" is a poem that focuses on nature's beauty and importance, especially for the fishermen of the Coromandel Coast of India. The poem also takes on the relationship of man and nature and the optimistic value it holds for the people.

In the second line of the second stanza, Naidu uses a metaphor by saying, "The sea is our mother, the cloud is our brother, the waves are our comrades all." This is because the sea, like a mother, provides for the fishermen. The clouds help them by showing them the direction of the winds while the waves are like friends who help them get to the middle of the sea and also protect them. And in this comparison, Sarojini Naidu embodies the close relationship of the fishermen and nature.
