Do you consider Marvel to be a smart turncoat? Give reasons. |
|
Answer» • Marvel was a tramp • He was lazy and did not show any intention to work hard for improving his life. • Griffin did not have a very high opinion about Marvel’s abilities, still he made him his accomplice because Marvel was an obvious weakling who could be easily intimidated. • His cowardice did not let him defy Griffins commands. Surprisingly, this apparently good -for-nothing fellow managed to cheat a wicked and dangerously evil man like Griffin. • But this act does not make him a turncoat in any way because he assisted Griffin much against his own wish. • He was a simple person, who was no match for the all powerful Invisible Man. • He had no choice but to obey each order coming from his se • lf proclaimed master. • Marvel was more of a slave than an accomplice in crime. When he succeeded in sneaking away, it was actually to save his life. • Of course towards the end he does show smartness by hiding the entire money and the three books of Griffin. • But once again this was done for survival than treachery. |
