Many Toru Dutt poems also center on the relationship between humanity and nature by foregrounding and commenting on many different varieties of animal. These central animals in Dutt's poems—be they wolves, condors, baboons, or deer—more often than not stand in as symbols for humanity's encounters with nature, as well as the parts of nature that are more close to humanity than are traditionally thought.
