What doubts did Edla have in her mind about the tramp?
Ans. On seeing the peddler, Edla, at
once, had some doubts about the peddler. She could not believe that he had been
a captain. He did not seem to be an educated person. She thought that either he
had stolen something or he had escaped from jail.

How does the setting of the remote forest location in The Rattrap contribute to the overall tone and mood of the story?
Ans. The minute detail of the forest in
the story “The Rattrap creates a sense of awe and wilderness that resides in
the remote corners of every human heart. This is the reason why the Rattrap
feels scared and miserable about being caught in the labyrinth of the intricate
forest. The writer has successfully used the device of parallelism. The reader
also gets lost in the deep of the forest along with the tramp.
