Question

Write the character sketch of Mr.eston

Answer 1

Answer:

In O. Henry’s short story “Hearts and Hands”, Mr. Easton is presented as a handsome young man with a bold and frank manner. He previously used to live in Washington but later shifted to the West for a better way of living. But in pursuit of more money, he indulged himself in some criminal activities. Now he was being taken to the Leavenworth prison for seven years of imprisonment for counterfeiting. So, it is evident that he is quite ambitious and reckless. Like Miss Fairchild, he is also unwise and at a moral corruption, ready to do anything to earn more money.
