What was the message values morals of the poem nose versus eyes?

1 Answer

  1. The poem details the argument between the nose and the eyes by placing them in a court setting. The tongue, who is appointed as the lawyer, argues both sides without worrying about who is the true owner of the spectacles.

    The ear delivers the verdict in favour of the nose simply on the basis of nonsensical arguments and without considering any logic. The irony of his decision in giving the right of ownership to the nose and asking the eyes to remain shut when the nose wears them is obvious and thus effectively highlights the drawback of blind justice.
