Question

At the end of the story, there is a complete 9 change in the girl’s attitude to life. Who should the credit go to? (is it to the idler – artist’s ability to impact others?or is it the girl’s readiness and the open-mindedness to change?)

Answer 1

Firstly, the artist has the ability to draw very well and attract the attention of others towards his art. Secondly, though the girl is not immediately ready to give attention to his art, she is open-minded enough to consider it when he draws on her pitcher. After paying more attention to his art, she becomes so impressed with it that she is ready to go with him when he leaves the workers’ paradise.
