Question: Arnold Bennett's presentation / character sketch of Lomax Harder. (Apr. 12) (Apr.11) (Apr. 10) (April- 09)
Or
Comment on Lomax Harder's action as "a social act".
Answer: In his story 'Murder', Arnold Bennett has shown Lomax Harder, a suave, soft spoken, tall, fair, intelligent poet, a thorough gentleman in contrast to John Franting, a crud, gruff, rude, stout orthodex barbaric boxer representing the two extreme kinds of men.
Lomax is the main hero of the story. Arnold Benett has shown his act of murder as a social. act, defending a tortured helpless woman and even laudable in certain instances. Franking though right in wanting to be with his wife, has a very crude way of showing his love for her, so much so that he is ready to even kill her to keep her. Lomax, in love with Emily, could not allow this ruff and insensitive man to get away with his plan to kill her. Though he came to interact with Franting in a civilized manner and advocate. Emily's cause, he lands up killing him to p Emily from him. Since his reasons to kill Fran where pure and selfless, he is not much affe by this extreme crime he has ended upd Like Mahabharat's Arjun, after receiv lecture on selfless 'Karma' from Lord Kris Lomax kills Franking selflessly as an a necessity.
