Question

What does Jerome say was Montmorency’s ambition in life? What do you think of Montmorency and why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Jerome says Montmorency's ambition in life was to disturb people while they are working and be sworn at. Montmorency was a little dog, who always loved to trouble others. Whenever he found people busy with their work, he might feel bored and wanted to get involved. He meant no trouble intentionally.

Jerome says that Montmorency’s ambition in life was to get in the way and get scolded. The poet says that Montmorency would feel that his day was not wasted if he could squirm in anywhere where he was not wanted and make people mad at him. The narrator continues to say that Montmorency’s highest aim and object was to get somebody stumble over him and curse him for an hour.

I think that Montmorency is just another dog who seeks love and attention of the people around him. He wants to irritate people so as to make his presence felt.
