What kind of a teacher do you think was Crocker –Harris? Do you think Taplow hated him? Justify your answer on the basis of your reading of the play?

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Andrew Crocker-Harris was a teacher who was all at ease with himself and others. He views himself as a failure mostly because as Taplow remarks that he is unable to pass on his love for Classical literature to his students. His students ridicule and tease him, calling him names like "Himmler of the lower fifth". Yet the most interesting attribute about Crocker-Harris is despite having every reason for bitterness and resentment, he remains humble and accepts with humility Taplow's gift and Hunter's proposed visit. Initially Taplow did resent him but in the end he is sympathetic towards his teacher.
