Question

ii. In the lesson Rattrap, the iron master and his daughter Edla behave well with the
peddler. Other than sentiments on a mistaken identity on the part of the ironmaster and
innate goodness on the part of Edla, is there some other reason for this hospitality?
Explain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Edla Willmansson had been rather nice to the peddler and had treated him with the honour that was due to a Captain. The peddler, through this mistaken identity, got an opportunity to raise himself and get above the petty temptations of the world. So he signed himself as Captain von Stahle.
