Answers
Answer:
Sadao’s character
‘The Enemy’ by Pearl S Buck, is the story of a kind,
considerate, and Japanese doctor, Sadao Hoki, who loved his profession more
than anything else. He is a perfect role model for all the doctors of the world
who really upholds the values of his profession. His traditional father had taken great care of
his upbringing and instilled in his mind that he had to be a great doctor and
surgeon. He sent him to America at the age of 22 to learn medicine. He stayed
there for 8 years and observed strict self-discipline. He met Hana, another
Japanese girl there and fell in love with her. However, he waited until his
father’s approval and married her only after the approval.
The best traits of his personality come to light when
risking his own life and the entire family he dares to save an enemy. Japan and
America were at war in the World War II. During this one American POW, Tom is
washed ashore near his home. Sadao saves him. He faces opposition from his
servants but he knows his responsibilities as a doctor. He is a man of clear
conscience.
Not only is he a good human being, he is a perfect and
skilled doctor also. Genereal Takima had a great faith in him that’s why he
offers to help him come out of the trouble the doctor had thrown himself into
by helping an enemy.
Hana’s character
Hana is an epitome of a loving, dedicated and caring wife. She
always has love and affection in her heart for Sadao. In spite of being married
for so many years, she is still the same loving wife. She often assists Sadao
in her medical operations as she helped him with anesthetics while operating
Tom. She loves her family. She gets scared when a man in uniform appears at the
gate. She is also a good-hearted woman as she also wished Tom to be saved. She is
quite hardworking. When Yumi, the nurse refuses to wash Tom, she does it
herself. When the servants leave Sadao’s home in protest, she does all the chores
herself. However, she is not as courageous as Sadao.
