in what sense was the world a big rattrap according to the peddler
Dear Student,
The peddler was a very poor man and his life was sad and monotonous. He used to earn his living by selling rattraps he made himself from the materials he got by begging. One day he was moving round selling his rattraps and suddenly thought that the whole world was nothing but a big rattrap. Its shelter, food, land, cities, clothes, riches and joys existed only to set baits for people in the same manner as the rattrap offered cheese and pork. As soon as someone let himself be tempted to touch the bait, it closed in on him, and then everything came to an end.
Regards
