Characteristic of uncle terenty
Answers
Uncle Terenty is a homeless cobbler. He
is a “tall old man with a thin,
pock-marked face, very long legs, and bare feet, dressed in a woman’s tattered
jacket”. Terenty does not give
importance to the approaching storm and talking reassuringly in fatherly tones
he goes to free Fyokla’s brother. He “answers all questions, and there is no secret in
Nature which baffles him. He knows everything”. The writer further adds that indeed “all the villagers, generally speaking, know as
much as he does.” But the difference is
that Terenty is willing to share his knowledge and time with the two orphan
children.
The author tells about Terenty's
sincerity and love for the two orphan children. Terenty comes back later and
puts bread under their heads making the sign of the cross while they are
asleep. In this way Terenty is tries to make the lives of Fyokla and
Danilka a little better than his own.
