Why is the narrator angry with Stephen Mackaye and does he have a right to be angry why or why not
Answers
The narrator is angry with Stephen Mackaye for letting him be with Spot.
Explanation:-
"That Spot" is a short story written by Jack London. The story is about two guys running after fortune during the Klondike Gold Rush. On their chase, they acquire a dog named Spot, who is mischievous.
the narrator is angry with Stephen Mackaye because he let him with the Spot. No, he does not have the right to be angry with Stephen Mackaye because it was first the narrator who left Stephen with the Spot, so in return, Stephen did it with the narrator.
Textual evidence:
"I got up one morning and found that Spot chained to the gate-post and holding up the milkman. Steve went north to Seattle, I learned, that very morning. I didn't put on any more weight. My wife made me buy him a collar and tag, and within an hour he showed his gratitude by killing her pet Persian cat. There is no getting rid of that Spot. He will be with me until I die, for he'll never die. My appetite is not so good since he arrived, and my wife says I am looking peaked. Last night that Spot got into Mr. Harvey's hen-house (Harvey is my next-door neighbor) and killed nineteen of his fancy-bred chickens. I shall have to pay for them. My neighbors on the other side quarreled with my wife and then moved out. The spot was the cause of it. And that is why I am disappointed in Stephen Mackaye. I had no idea he was so mean a man."
