Question

Give a brief character sketch of taplow

Answer 1

Taplow is a boy of sixteen who is extremely

interested in science. He does not like learning Greek and Latin. He is a good

mimic as he imitates Croker Harris’s voice and style very well. He is a very

good judge of good qualities. Though Crocker Harris is very strict, yet Taplow

has high regard for him. He does not consider him a sadist. He admires Crocker

Harris. He does not want to make Crocker Harris angry by displeasing him in any

manner. When Frank suggests him that he could play and come back as there are

very bleak chances of Crocker Harris’s coming, he refuses to do so.
