why did Gerrard say that the Intruder was luckier?
Answers
Answer:
Gerrard said that the intruder did not understand his remark when he said that the intruder was luckier than most melodramatic villains. He added that he was not praising the intruder's intelligence but he wanted to say that the intruder would not kill him until he had a major reason to do so.
In this play, Gerrard is a playwright who is confronted by an intruder who wants to kill him and take his identity. Gerrard manages to outwit the intruder and trap him in a cupboard.
Answer
Gerrard says that the intruder is luckier than him when he reveals that he himself is a crook who has killed someone and is wanted by the police. He says this to make the intruder believe that taking his identity would be a bad idea, as he would still be chased by the law. He also says this to create a sense of urgency and make the intruder follow his instructions.
Gerrard is not being serious when he says this. He is lying to save his life and escape from the intruder. He is actually a respectable man who has nothing to do with crime. He uses his wit and imagination to fool the intruder and turn the tables on him.
