Q. Why did the peddler think that world was a rattrap? (Class-12, Chapter- The Rattrap)
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 where attractive things act as bait to lure people and hence trap them in the world of materialistic pleasures like shelter, food, land, cities, clothes, riches and joys, 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.
Hope this helps!
Regards
