HI MATE!!
HERE IS UR ANSWER:
________________
Salvatore is a short story by Somerset Maugham that has the ability to charm the reader through its simplicity. No clever plots, no suspense or reliance on wit. The beauty of Salvatore lies in its simplicity and the simplicity derives its integrity through the masterful characterization of the protagonist. The narrator traces the life of a certain ‘Salvatore’ and shows us the goodness of this man playing out in the different aspects of his less than perfect life.
The story opens with the narrator expresssing a sense of doubt in what he is attempting:
“I wonder if I can do it“.
Towards the end of the story, his simple ambition is revealed : of holding the reader’s attention for a few pages while he draws the portrait of an ordinary man foreseeing the rare virtue of goodness. And clearly, he has.
