Question 2: Why did the peddler sign himself as Captain von Stahle?

Class 12 - English - The Rattrap Page 42

Answer 1

Hey there!!!✌

==================

The peddler signed himself as Captain Von Stahle because they were nice to him as if he was a real captain or who would have caught in this world's rattrap "if he had not been raised to captain".
That's why the peddler signed himself as Captain Von Stahle.

=================================

Hope it helps!!

Answer 2

Hi friend,

The peddler was a vagabond or a tramp. When he was invited by the ironmaster, he behaved like a real captain. He perhaps wanted to behave nicely with them.So he signed himself as Captain Von Sthale.

Hope it helps!
