Answer 2

The answer is

Selma Lagerlöf's short novel The Rattrap is about a man who lives a dismal existence as a wanderer and poor rattrap merchant. Because of his current condition, he sees the world through the lenses of cynicism and sorrow.

• He sees the world as a rat trap into which we are drawn by the rat trap of worldly things. To support himself, he resorts to petty stealing and selling rat traps in the novel. However, this is insufficient because he continues to live in poverty.

• The master smith and his assistant sat in the dark forge beside the furnace on one of the long dark evenings shortly before Christmas, waiting for the rough iron that had been placed in the fire to be ready to be placed on the anvil.

• Every now and again, one of them stood up to stir the flaming mass with a long iron bar, returning a few moments later, soaked with perspiration, despite he wore nothing but a long shirt and a pair of wooden shoes, as was customary.

• In brief, The Rattrap is the narrative of a man who discovers that true pleasure comes from within, through love, respect, and appreciation, rather than from worldly items.
