Answer 2

Answer:

The rattrap metaphor implies that the universe exists solely to lure people in by baiting them.

Explanation:

• Whenever someone is enticed by the finer things in life, he falls into a terrible trap.
• As a result, the author offers a much deeper judgement on those who seek worldly pleasures, which frequently leads to terrible situations.
• The narrative emphasises the significance of kindness and goodness in general.
• Only until the peddler acknowledges Edla's goodwill can he escape the net of the vast rattrap known as the world.

Hence, the metaphor states that the world itself is a rattrap and it traps people with worldly pleasures.
