How was the author made a puppet in front of the native people?

คภรฬєг:
The author was being followed by the native people as a creature was going to be shot. They blocked the road from one side to another side. They were watching him as Orwell would perform a trick like a magician. People were excited because they were going to see a novel scene. The author became will-less. He was pressed forward by the will of the thousands of people. He was with his gun but if he didn’t shoot the elephant, it would be matter of shame. This is the problem of a white man in the East. It was a matter of his prestige. How could he lower down himself in the eyes of those men, the majority of which insulted him? So, unwillingly, he was guided to and fro by the will of the yellow faces. So, though Orwell had no original intention of killing the elephant, he was determined to do it as it was a matter of dignity in front of lower class people.
