Answers
Wasserkopf is the central character of the play ‘Refund’.
He is dejected and has lost all hope of finding a job. He is so gullible that he believes people, when they tell him he knows nothing. It makes his frustrated and angry.
Wasserkopf is an unemployed man, about forty years old. He is turned away from all places that he goes to, seeking employment. At one place, he is even told by the owner that he has learnt nothing from school and to go take a refund of his fees, as he has learnt nothing from the school. So, with this idea in mind he goes to his old school after a period of eighteen years, to ask for a refund of his fees. However, the clever teachers hatch a plan to outwit him. They hold a test to prove that he is intelligent. They go about proving that even the most incorrect answer from Wasserkopf is correct.
