Question
What light does the whole incident throw on the nature and mood of the mob?
Solution
Common people are not always swayed away by reasoning. They are impulsive. The people were watching the whole drama for long. Much was done about nothing. No one was hanged. They needed some real action. They grew restless and demanded that someone should be hanged immediately. It didn’t matter who should go to the gallows. It shows the fickle-mindedness of the people.
