Question

quality lesson
what were the Shoemaker remarks about the piece of leather​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mr. Gessler in Galsworthy’s short story “Quality” is a traditional German shoemaker who values quality of the shoes he makes. He is the younger of the two Gessler Brothers and is the protagonist of the story.

Mr. Gessler, a little, short-statured man with “his yellow crinkly face, and crinkly reddish hair and beard, … his guttural and one-toned voice” is described as “as if made from leather”. This kind of physical description of the man is not without purpose though. The words “as if made of leather” indicate that Mr. Gessler is “stiff and slow of purpose” like leather. He is as dependable as the quality of leather he uses to make his shoes, though he is slow in execution. Moreover, Mr. Gessler’s ideal of being a perfectionist was reflected in his gray-blue eyes which, the narrator comments “had in them the simple gravity of one secretly possessed by the Ideal”. As a hard-working shoemaker tirelessly making boots since his youth, Mr. Gessler’s mission in life seemed to make quality shoes as per the demands of his customers.

To Mr. Gessler, shoe-making was not a mere profession, but a sacred vocation, an art of which he was a passionate artist. Once the narrator asked him whether his work of shoe-making was awfully hard. Gessler answered with a smile –

“Id is an Ardt!” (It is an art!)
