A Short note on the character sketch of Taplow. Hornbill Class 11th Chapter-The Browning Version
Answers
Answer:
Taplow is a student of fifth form and is 26 years old according to the story. He is always talkative. His main disadvantage is that he gets carried away easily. On being provoked by Frank, he opens his heart and speaks out critically about his latin teacher. He is very afraid of Crocker-Harris although this teacher never beats any boy. He dare not cut his master because Crocker-Harris might even follow him to his home. He calls his teacher secretive and a person who can't be easily pleased. This teacher refuses to tell his marks in the marks card before the stipulated time. He also says that Crocker-Harris is a 'hardly human'. Coming to the conclusion, he is honest and gullible. He mimics his teacher's voice. He uses some words to his teacher. His actions show that he isn't matured enough. So this is the character sketch of Taplow.
