Question

How do Ulrich and George regard each other once they are trapped

Answer 1

Ulrich and George's relationship transforms from uncertainty to unity and support when they are trapped.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the story, once Ulrich and George find themselves trapped, their initial reactions towards each other are tense and uncertain. Ulrich admits that there is a fascination in their situation and believes that every person secretly desires to have their courage tested. When they at that time met on that fateful day, regardless of the rifle in the hand of each man, they had a code to not just kill except their honor was at stake.

However, as the danger of their predicament becomes more apparent, they both realize the importance of unity and come to regard each other with understanding and empathy. They find solace in each other's presence and embrace, comforting one another and seeking strength together.

Answer 2

Once they are trapped each regarded the other with disdain and hate initially, until they made a pact to be friendly to each other

Step-by-step explanation:

Before both men were trapped by the tree which fell on them and hurt them, they both hated each other and each wished evil to the other person.

When they met on that fateful day, regardless of the rifle in the hand of each man, they had a code to not just kill except their honor was at stake.

As they lay on the ground after the tree fell on them, each man was alive but helpless and struggling. Both of them bragged to each other on how his men would come to his rescue, and when they did, the other man would be severely dealt with. They regarded each other with so much disdain that each prayed for his men to get there first.

But right before the end of the story both men agreed to let the age long feud die and be friends.
