Q10.’Man is inherently good but circumsances compel him to act otherwise.’ Discuss the rattrap seller in the light of this statement. class 12
Answer: The peddler was a man who went around selling his self made small rattraps of wire. He was leading a hard, monotonous, dull and lonely life of a vagabond. He hated the world which never gave him love and kindness. This attitude of his compelled him to steal the , crofter’s money. Thus he betrayed the confidence reposed in him by the crofter. On the other hand, Edla behaved with him most sympathetically and compassionately. When the ironmaster came to know that the peddler was not his old acquaintance, he asked him to go out of the house immediately. But Edla insisted on letting the stranger spend the Christmas evening in peace since they had invited him. Her kindness, hospitality awoke the essential goodness in him. It touched the peddler so much that he left a Christmas gift with a letter to send thirty kroner for the crofter. Thus he became a dignified person.
