Question

1. Has Lushkoff become a beggar by circumstance or by choice?
2. What reasons does he give to Sergei for his telling lies?
3. Is Lushkoff a willing worker? Why, then, does he agree to
chop wood for Sergei?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ans 1. Lushkoff became a beggar by circumstance. He used to sing in a Russian choir, but he was sacked due to his drinking habit. This led him to beg.

Ans 2. Lushkoff gave the reason for his telling lies that he formerly sang in a Russian choir but was fired from his job for being an alcoholic. So, he had to tell lies. He could not get along without lying as no one would give him anything if he told the truth.

Ans 3. No, Lushkoff is not a willing worker. He had lost his strength and stamina due to his habit of drinking. He was unhealthy and did not feel the slightest inclination to do any work.

He agrees to chop wood for Sergei not because of his pride and shame and he had been trapped by his own words.
