The story 'The Rattrap' exemplifies the truth that essential goodness of human beings can be awakened through understanding and love. Discuss.

Dear student 

The rattrap exemplifies that truth and essential goodness of humans can be awakened through understanding and love. The vagabond who is a thief steals thirty kronor from the crofter. He ran away and realized that he had got trapped in a rattrap. While being invited to the ironmaster's house he spent Christmas with them realizing that even after knowing all the truth about the poor ragamuffin, Edla is so kind and compassionate towards him. Her hospitality awakens his conscience and he realises that there is a way out of the rattrap. He got a chance to redeem himself and he returns the money which he had stolen through Edla and signed the letter as an honourable Captain because the ironmaster had invited him mistaking him for Captain Von Stahle. The peddler did not want Edla to be embarrassed by a thief at Christmas. Therefore, he got transformed into a better human being.

​​​​​​Regards
