Mr.KNOW-ALL

After reading the story ,''Mr.know-all " , do yo think what Mr. Kelada did was right or wrong?Why?

Ans: The narrator  of the story was going to yakohama to San Francisco. On the ship, he had to share the cabin with a stranger named Max  Kelada who was chatty and argumentative . He talked to everybody on various topics as if he knew everything. For that reason , he was nicknamed as Mr.Know-All .He was hated by almost everyone on board .There was another man named Mr.Ramsay who was going to Kobe from New York with his beautiful wife.One evening,an argument started between Mr.Know-all and Mr.Ramsay. They argued about pearls . Mr. Kelada  claimed that he knew much about pearls . He showed a pearl-chain worn by Mrs. Ramsay and said that it was real and it would cost up to thirty thousand dollars . But Mr. Ramsay was sure that pearl-chain was artificial and his wife had bought it for just 18 dollars. Mr. Ramsay and Mr. kelada bet hundred dollars on it. Mr. kelada  examined the pearl with his magnifying glass and found out that the pearls were real. He looked at Mrs. Ramsay  and saw that her face was pale and she looked as if she was going to faint. Mr. kelada hide the truth and said that the pearls were artificial. He gave a hundred dollar note to Mr. Ramsay Next morning, he got his money back from Mrs. Ramsay.
This story deals with humanity and the nature of women . What appears on the surface is not always the reality . Though Mr. Kelada is talkative and he is hated by all, he is proved to be the best example of humanity. He became fool but saved the happy married life of Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay . People laughed at him and ridiculously nicknamed him as Mr. Know-All ,but he didnt care it. He told a lie and lost the money as well as prestige to save the prestige of others. On the other hand , the story also shows the duel character of women . Mrs. Ramsay looks very honest and good wife but she involves in the immoral love affairs with men in the absence of her husband.This story is very interesting and it has surprise ending. The writer has successfully shows the human nature. Some good people like Mr. kelada are really misjudged and it is very difficult to know about the secrecy of women.
