Question

Why did the narrator feel that working for reginer's was a matter of pride

Answer 1

Answer:

The story’s narrator is a correspondent for the Backwoodsman, an English-language newspaper. As part of his job, he travels by train to various parts of India, interacting with everyone from the kings of minor states to the “loafers” who travel second-class. On one of his journeys, he meets Peachey Carnehan and Daniel Dravot, who ask for his help in planning their conquest of Kafiristan. The narrator thinks Carnehan and Dravot’s plan is foolish, but when they assure him they are serious, he provides them with books and maps of the region. Two years later, Carnehan returns, injured and haggard, and tells the narrator about his adventures in Kafiristan. The bulk of “The Man Who Would Be King” is a story within a story: in the framing narrative, the narrator talks of his interactions with Carnehan and Dravot, and it is within this context that Carnehan tells the story of what happened in Kafiristan. The narrator thus serves as an intermediary between the “respectable” world familiar to Kipling’s Victorian British readers and the exotic setting of Carnehan and Dravot’s adventure. Kipling was working as a newspaper correspondent in Lahore when he wrote “The Man Who Would Be King,” so it seems likely that the narrator is a stand-in for Kipling himself.
