How did Sadao prove that duty towards humanity was over and above all narrow considerations. |
|
Answer» The wounded American prisoner of war was a natural enemy of Dr Sadao and his wife Hana as Japan was at war with America. They should have handed him over to the police. Sadao had a long standing aversion to Americans. When he was in America for his studies he had deeply disliked his landlady and Ameican manners in general. He loved his country and his culture. But Tom challenged all his biases. Sadao set aside all patriotic and personal prejudices and in treating the American upheld only humanity. He even ignored the inconvenience caused to his wife due to the displeasure of the servants. Thus with him human consideration outweighed all other considerations. His duty as a doctor made Dr Sadao save the life of even a dying enemy. |
