The Rattrap Class 12 English | Mind Map | Detailed Explanation | Flamingo Chapter 4 |

Selma Lagerlof (1858-1940) was a Swedish writer whose stories have been translated into many languages. A universal theme runs through all of them — a belief that the essential goodness in a human being can be awakened through understanding and love. This story is set amidst the mines of Sweden, rich in iron ore, which figure large in the history and legends of that country. The story is told somewhat in the manner of a fairy tale. The author uses the rat trap as a metaphor to justify the theme and basic idea that the world offers riches and joys as baits to trap man. The peddler in the story is taken in by the multiple baits offered to him in the form of a cottage on the roadside, the crofter's hospitality and his confidences. Most of all, it was the money shown by the crofter that brought him back into the trap. He came back to steal the 30 kroners’ shown by his host. In his attempt to save himself from the clutches of law he got all the more entangled into the trap. He became a victim of his own philosophy of life. The world, like bait, kept enticing him further in the form of the iron master and his daughter with all their hospitalities that they offered. The kind treatment meted out to him by Miss. Edla Williamson left a deep impression on him. It awakened the hidden goodness in him on seeing that she had gone out of her way to make him comfortable and had also opposed her father who wanted to turn him away on realising that he was not the man, his old army comrade that he had taken him for. It was Edla's attitude that helped the peddler get released from the trap. He surrendered the stolen money and also thanked her for bringing about the much-desired change in him. His basic goodness came to the fore because of her sympathies and her concern toward him.
