"The story 'The Rattrap' is a mixture of entertainment and philosophy". Explain.
Answer:
The story 'The Rattrap' is entertaining and philosophical as well. The ironmaster mistakes the peddler for his old friend. This episode amuses the readers a lot. But the comparison between a rattrap and this world
conveys a deep philosophical message.
This world provides us with the stuff that allure us. Just as a bait is used to trap a rat, worldly enjoyments are used to trap human beings. The story so beautifully highlights the human dilemma that one wonders in
awe whether one should accept the allurements or reject them.
