In "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," the role of the wives (Darzee's wife and Chuchundra's wife) is to emphasize the contrast between male and female characters. They are shown as more passive and timid compared to the male characters who take assertive roles in protecting their families from threats like the cobras. Their portrayal highlights themes of gender roles and characteristics in the story.
