Question

What do you gather about Crocker-Harris from the play ?

Answer 1

We gather that Mr. Crocker-Harris is a Latin language teacher. He seems tp be a very strict teacher. He has created such an impression on the students that they don’t dare defy his orders even in his absence. They are scared to death. Other teachers like Frank feel jealous of him for creating such impression. He never beats students neither he is a sadist. He makes his students to ‘stay back after school, to do extra work for missing a class. But he himself doesn’t make it a point to be there such students. He leaves them just to wait. Here his views seem somewhat lax.
