Mr. Know All by W. Somerset Maugham

First of all I want to aim with the narrative perspective. In the short twaddle Mr. Know-All by William pass Maugham there is a jump person narrator, who takes an active part in the reputation. He is a very important character. It is not easy to identify whether he is a minor or a major character. On the one hand he is a major character because the instruction he presents Mr. Kelada influences the reader a lot. On the other hand he is just a minor character because he is only the giver of Mr. Kelada.The reader never can see him in real challenge when he is without Mr. Kelada. He is just present to tell the reader what Mr. Kelada does and how he be gives. Furthermore he is a minor character because the whole level deals with Mr. Kelada. In my point of view Mr. Kelada is the protagonist and the narrator is the foil, the so called melodic line figure. He only reflects the good and the bad features of the protagonist. In this particular story the foil reflects more the negativ e than the positive traits.The 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 about foreigners, because I should have looked 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 especially about Mr. Kelada.Throughout the story but especially 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 baffle him despise Mr. Kelada. It is not only the name which arouses suspicion, because as he tells When I went on board I found Mr. Kelada?s luggage already there. I did not like the the look of it there were too galore(postnominal) labels on the suitcase 2 They make him believe that Mr. Kelada is a homo with savoir-faire.
