Question

Wat kind of a teacher was Mr Crocker Harris.... English browning version... Class 11

Answer 1

Mr. Crocker Harris is a strict teacher and a man of principles. He does not tell the result like the other teachers. It is difficult to read his mind. He never spares an erring child. He is very conscious of his duty.

Answer 2

The Browning Version by Terence Rattigan represents the conversation between Mr. Frank, a teacher, and Taplow who is a student. From the conversation, we learn that Taplow was performing extra duty as a punishment from his teacher Mr. Crocker-Harris. We learn much about Crocker-Harris through the Taplow's conversation, in which according to Taplow Mr. Harris is a different teacher and 'hardly human'. When Taplow asks for his result from Mr. Crocker Harris he replies that he has given what he deserves “No less, and certainly no more”. Mr. Frank envying Mr. Crocker Harris asks Taplow if he beat his students. To which further Taplow informs that unlike other teachers he is not a sadist. Mr. Crocker Harris would never take out his frustration by beating students and that in spite he being heartless, he is liked by Taplow.
