The weasel is described as a lizard.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The weasels represent freedom. The weasel has no responsibility like the humans. they are free. He says weasels live a life of necessity but humans have a choice.
  • The poet says it was thin, curved like a lizard, 'small and pointed like a lizard' and then she also compares the weasel to a person she met in the woods.
  • The poet shows the difference between man and nature saying the animals and nature observe every details around it but man is caught in his world where he lives. .
