Why did the children lock Margot in a closet?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The children, like those in the novel, “Lord of the flies”, consider the logic and reasoning of Margot as stupid. Her faith in the definite appearance of the Sun is ridiculed by her classmates. She asserts that the prediction of the Sun will be true. She even describes Sun as a lemon but hot in nature. Fed up with her optimism, the children lock her up in a closet.
