Question

do you think it was a good decision for the Bishop to give away the candlesticks to the convict?​

Answer 1

When the convict told the Bishop that he wanted to go to Paris as it was a big place and the police would not easily recognise him there, the Bishop supported him.

Bishop treats even the convict as his friend and guest. The convict proves to be ungrateful by stealing the silver candlesticks of a person who offered him food and shelter and comforted him. However, the Bishop forgives him easily. Rather he gifts the candlesticks to him so that he may start a new life. So, it's a really good decision for the Bishop to give away the candlesticks to the convict
