do you think a sense of guilt is like a punishment comment with reference to the story 'the rattrap
  • 1 answers

Society runs on a system of crime and punishment, where any wrongdoing meets its retribution. However, that is mainly to prevent further crimes. It does not make the introspect as much as does the guilt that follows the crime. In 'The Rattrap', in the peddler's view, the whole world is a giant rattrap that tempts people with "​riches and joys, shelter and food, heat and clothing". People who he knew have either fallen prey to it or were about to, it being only a matter of time. By this reasoning, he justifies his own stealing of hard-earned money from a man who has shown him only kindness. Although he goes unpunished, in the conventional sense, his guilt by the end of the story makes him a different person altogether. In the end, he understands the value of human kindness.
