Question

In “All for a Paisa,” after the ironsmith’s daughter rescues her husband, he still mentions that he will have to harm her. How does this scene contribute to the development of the theme that some people simply cannot be helped? It reveals the innocence of fools, who tend to place too much trust in others. It shows a time in which a character foolishly refuses the assistance of someone who might be able to solve his problems. It depicts a moment in which a character’s flaws remain despite experiences that should have led to improvement. It captures the confusion felt by those who find themselves in sudden and unexpected danger.

Answer 1

Answer is Option C: It depicts a moment in which a character’s flaws remain despite experiences that should have led to improvement.

Step-by-step explanation:

“All for a Paisa” is a riddle- story for kids. The main idea of the story is that no one is born wise. A person gains wisdom with the experiences of his life. So, when there is an opportunity, even a fool can learn from his experiences if he wishes to. The merchant’s wife in the story tries to convince her husband that their son have abilities and wisdom. He is then given a task by his father. He succeeds in the same with the help of the daughter of the ironsmith. They get both of them married later.

He proved to his father that he can learn and grow in his life. Iron smith’s daughter helped her husband, but still he wanted to harm her. So, Option C is the most apt that character flaws remain despite experiences.
