Discuss the role of Bishop in the life of convict in the play the "bishop candlesticks"
Answers
Bishop’s role
Bishop played a pivotal role in transforming the convict into a good human being again. The Bishop did through his kindness and love. If we want to change any bad human being into a good human, it is possible only through love and understanding. The Bishop treated the convict with respect, care and understanding. He knew he had been someone who had suffered a lot in his past; his suffering had turned him into a callous human being. The Bishop's understanding turned out to be quite true.
The real transformation occurred when the Bishop saved him again from being imprisoned by Gendarmes. He told them he had gifted his candlesticks to him. The truth was, the convict had stolen them and sneaked out of the Bishop's house in the middle of night.
