1)Courage:In the story, courage is the dominant characteristic of the hero, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, a mongoose. It is, indeed ,heroic for the mongoose to fight the evil cobras, Nag and Nagaina. Although Rikki is afraid of the cobra's immense size and strength, he is determined to protect the human family, who has given him refuge in their home. Rikki has no experience of fighting with snakes, but it is his tremendous power of courage which enables him to comfort the horrid cobras. He emerges victorious in his fight with the snakes. His courage is rewarded at the end- he is considered a hero by denizens of the garden ; and the human family gives him a permanent place in their home.The virtue of courage is highly regarded in the story. Rikki's is emphasised and contrasted with the cowardliness of Chuchundra , the fearful muskrat, who is unable to overcome his fear. Rikki and other creatures of the garden, scorn at Chuchundra for being chicken-hearted. At the end, Darzee, a tailor-bird sings a song of triumph to praise the heroic Rikki for his courageous deed.2)Survival: Survival of the fittest is the law of jungle, so it applies to the fantasy world of the garden as well. The cobras, Rikki and other creatures of the garden struggle to survive. Rikki, a mongoose poses a natural danger to the cobra and his family and hence, Rikki and snakes become arch-rivals. Cobras are a threat to the babies of the tailorbirds, Darzee and his wife; and also to the human family. But only the fittest Rikki and the human family survive in the end. The more fit acquire supremacy and power. The weak are eliminated altogether. The theme of survival comes from the theory of Social Darwinism, prevalent during the late 19th century.3) Loyalty: The virtues of loyalty, duty and honour were deeply rooted in Kipling during his training at the military school. Kipling was highly influenced by these virtues and they feature most of his works. Rikki's loyalty towards the human family makes him courageous. Rikki's sense of loyalty drives him to protect Teddy from Karait, a poisonous snake and later, the human family from the cobras. Rikki does not even bother about his own life in protecting the human family. Rikki fought for the honour of his family - the human family. Rikki's loyalty to the family does not go unrewarded. He gets a permanent refuge in the human family where he remains as their protector, for rest of his life.This answer is written by Vishal Reddy Kallem, a boy who is currently studying class X, Johnson Grammar School, Nacharam, Hyderabad-500007.
