Derry is a victim of his own complex. He develops a negative attitude towards life and people. Do you find some change in him in the end?
Answers
Answer:
there is answer
Explanation:
Derry thought that his flaws were the end all and be all of the world. He could not look past them and thought that the world also perceived him on similar terms. He would see people looking at him and thinking that it was terrible thing which had happened to him. He thought that they looked at him as the ugliest thing they had ever seen and pity him. He begged to differ but underneath he was afraid of himself when he looked in the mirror.
Mr Lamb observes that Derry had two arms, legs, ears and eyes plus a tongue and brain which meant that he would get on the way like all the rest. If Derry chose and set his mind to it, then he could get on better than the rest. He adds that he had a lot of friends even though he lived alone because he was always open to welcoming people. So, anybody could come and sit in front of the fire in the winter and kids came for the apples, pears and toffees. To him, people were never just nothing and they had their own distinct woes to deal with. Not every person with a burned face had the same issues to deal with. Everything was same but everything was also different. In Mr Lamb's opinion, our difficulties or flaws should not become the governing factors of our life because then bitterness and disappointment would seep into everything. Derry understood that he should not be selfishly absorbed in his own woes and also think about the possibility of suffering being differential in nature.
