Question

in the story rattrap peddler who was the keen observer the iron master or his daughter illustrate with example​

Answer 1

Answer:

Edla was a keen observer in the story The Rattrap.

Explanation:

When the ironmaster was there to check at the iron mill, he found the peddler there sleeping with his face covered. When the ironmaster lifted off the cloth from his face, he mistook the identity of the peddler as Captain von Sthale. This shows that he was a weak observer.

But when Elda reached the iron mill to invite the peddler to accompany her to celebrate Christmas eve at their residence, she read the eyes of the peddler and understood that he might have theft or done something wrong.

Hence we can say that Edla was a keen observer than his father, the ironmaster.

Answer 2

In the story "Rattrap," the keen observer is the ironmaster's daughter. She shows her observational skills when she interacts with the rattrap peddler.

Her observational abilities are demonstrated when she notices that the rattrap seller is not as destitute as he claims. She notices that he is wearing a watch chain and that his hands are well-cared for, implying that he has some level of money. She also mentions how well educated he is, as proven by his ability to speak many languages. She correctly deduces that the rattrap salesman, rather than a beggar or criminal, is a former sailor who fell on hard times.

Another example of ironmaster's daughter excellent observational abilities when she observes the rattrap vendor's alteration in conduct after discovering that she is the vendor's daughter. The street vendor is first reticent to discuss about himself or his past, but as soon as he finds out about her status, he starts to open up.

The daughter notices this alteration and understands that the hawker is attempting to win her favour in order to obtain some advantage. She recognises his attempt to control her and instead chooses to provide kindness and compassion to him, which results in a sincere relationship between the two of them.

Overall, the ironmaster's daughter is demonstrated to be a shrewd and insightful observer who can make reliable judgements about individuals based on minute facts and cues.
