Question

Peddler ka sketch chapter

Answer 1

The rattrap seller was a poor vagabond, wearing shabby

ragged clothes. He sold rattraps to earn a very meager livelihood. At times he

resorted to petty thievery. He considered the entire world as a big rattrap and

all the men and women as rats vulnerable to be trapped to various types of

baits. He himself got trapped in this rattrap when he stole thirty kronor of

the old crofter.

He was always in search of securing some money, by hook or crook. As a result he got into trouble the second time when the Ironmaster mistook him for an old companion and he did not correct him. However, there was some goodness left in him that was brought to surface by kind Edla, the Ironmaster’s elder daughter. At the end he transformed himself and returned the stolen money to the crofter through Edla.
