'Mr. Know All by W. Somerset Maugham\r'

'First of all I want to begin with the narrative perspective. In the hornswoggle story â€Å"Mr. Know-All” by William Somerset Maugham at that place is a offshoot person narrator, who takes an active fail in the story. He is a precise authorised timbre. It is not easy to tell whether he is a minor or a major character. On the one hand he is a major character because the way he presents Mr. Kelada influences the reader a lot. On the other hand he is besides a minor character because he is barely the presenter of Mr. Kelada.\r\nThe reader never can gain vigor him in real action when he is without Mr. Kelada. He is just present to tell the reader what Mr. Kelada does and how he behaves. Furthermore he is a minor character because the whole story deals with Mr. Kelada. In my point of deliberate Mr. Kelada is the protagonist and the narrator is the foil, the so called contrast figure. He plainly reflects the good and the bad features of the protagonist. In this crabbe d story the foil reflects more the negative than the positivistic traits.\r\nThe narrator himself is an English snob. He is not very fond of staying with somebody else in a cabin for fourteen days. Furthermore he is biased just about unknowners, because â€Å"I should have olfactory modalityed upon it with less dismay if my fellow-passenger?s name had been Smith or Brown. ” 1 That sentences shows that he values the British higher than people of foreign origin. He is very biased about foreigners and peculiarly about Mr. Kelada.\r\nThroughout the story †but particularly in the first 45 lines (and that is more than the first half of the short-story) †the narrator expresses his racist view. Consequently he depicts some incidents that make him despise Mr. Kelada. It is not only the name which arouses suspicion, because as he tells â€Å"When I went on board I found Mr. Kelada?s baggage already there. I did not like the the look of it; there were too slicey labels on the clutches [… ]” 2 They make him believe that Mr. Kelada is a man with savoir-faire….\r\n'
