Question

Write the narrator’s opinion about how the liftman should have dealt with the passenger’s uncivility. Give reasons for the same.

Answer 1

In the opinion of the writer, the liftman, instead of throwing the passenger out of the lift, should have treated him with elaborate politeness. He would have then had the victory not only over the rude passenger, but also over himself, and that was the spiritual victory that was more important. His revenge would then have been more subtle and effective.
