Answer» Optimism is indeed the key to a fulfilling life. Whatever situation our life may put us in, the choice of adopting an optimistic attitude lies with us. In the play ‘On the Face of It’ Mr Lamb is a physically challenged man. He has got a tin leg. The real one had got blown off, years back. Children tease him calling “Lamey Lamb”. But Mr. Lamb never minds such things. He is determined to have a positive attitude towards life. He likes to talk and have company. He is open and never shuts himself in. He lives life on his own terms. Lamb gives confidence to even Derry. He persuades him that he can get on with life better than the rest of the people. He should stop hating people as hatred burns one from inside. He leaves a deep impression on Derry. He develops confidence to face the world in a more positive way. |
