and how did he react to the new situation? What does his reaction reveal?
Answers
Answer:
Having robbed his generous host the peddler felt quite pleased with his smartness. He did not feel any qualms of conscience that he had abused the confidence reposed in him by the crofter. The selfish wretch thought only of his own safety.
Answer:
Explanation:
Immediately after robbing the cobbler, the peddler was very pleased with his own smartness.
He made his escape through the forest for he dared not take the public highway. However, he soon got lost in the woods and realized that he had been walking around in the same area. Left in
despair, he recollected his own thoughts on the world being a giant rattrap. A sudden realization
came to him that he had finally got himself caught in the rattrap because he allowed himself to be
tempted by the bait, the thirty kronor bills.
This reveals that the rattrap peddler was not a downright evil character. He was a victim of his
situation. His conscience was not dead as yet. He had to resort to beggary and stealing because his
business was not profitable enough to make both ends meet. His condition of penury does not
allow him to be fully righteous.
