Write the them of the Refund
Answers
Answer:
The play Refund written by Fritz Karinthy opens with a former student who visits his
school with a peculiar motive. He wants the Principal to refund the tuition fees that he
paid to the school when he was a student. He claims the refund because according to him
he didn’t learn anything at school. He tells that his school certificate is useless as he has
not been able to secure a job out of it. This unique idea of claiming a refund of fees was
given to him by his classmate, Leader.
The Principal, who had never encountered such a baffling situation before summons an
emergency meeting of the staff. The teachers didn’t take long to realize that they were
dealing with a crafty and cunning individual. Wasserkopf’s idea was to take a
re-examination, fail in the exam and go home with a refund. The teachers realized that
Wasserkopf’s real intention was to fail in the exam and claim the refund. Therefore, they
had to devise a counter-ploy by which they could outsmart Wasserkopf.
The teachers decided to outsmart the old student by proving all his answers right,
however erroneous they might be. The Mathematics teacher said that in the
implementation of the plan they had to stick together. They had to be united and help
each other in implementing their plan. The exam was an oral exam as Wasserkopf’s
decision to stand was construed by the Mathematics teacher as a signal to dispense with
the written form of examination.
Thus through the combined efforts of all the masters Wasserkopf was made to pass the
re-exam. The student tries hard to fail while his teachers try to ensure that he somehow
passes the test lest they should have to refund the tuition fee. Finally, he was shown the
door without a refund. The masters had finally succeeded in outsmarting a crafty and sly
pupil.
