Question

Long answer on what is Gerrard's profession ? How does his speech and words revile this .

Answer 1

hey mate here is the answer

Gerrard is a playwright by profession. Several parts of the play reflect this. He calls the situation melodramatic and melodrama is a genre of drama. Another instance is Gerard’s calling himself a sympathetic audience. He also points out that in most melodramas the villain is foolish enough to delay his killing long enough to be frustrated and hangs on to reminding the intruder that he was luckier than most melodramatic villains. Referring to the contents of his bag, he mentions what they were – disguise outfit and false mustaches. Gerard, after having made his escape, gives another dramatic dialogue to the cornered villain – “Sorry I can’t let you have the props in time for rehearsal, I’ve had a spot of bother – quite amusing. I think I’ll put it in my next play.”

Answer 2

Gerrard’s profession is that of a dramatist.

The parts of the play that support that imply this are:

“In most melodramas the villain is foolish enough to delay his killing long enough to be frustrated”.

“Sorry I can’t let you have the props in time for rehearsal…”

“I think I’ll put it in my next play.”

“At last a sympathetic audience!”
