How can you say that the young girl, Miss Edla Willmansson had a deep insight and understanding of human values?

Or

Characterize Edla Willmansson in about 125-150 words.

Or

How did Edla persuade the captain to stay with them for the Christmas cheer?

Or

Write down Edla’s contribution in awakening the essential goodness in rattrap man.

Solution

Edla is the modest, kind, considerate and a noble kind of girl. She has more persuasive power than her father. When the peddler refuses the ironmaster's request for the Christmas, he sends his daughter. She introduces herself and requests to come for the Christmass. She feels sorry for his hard time. She assures the captain that he will be allowed to leave them just as freely as he comes. Her manners, attitude and openness create confidence in the peddler. He accompanies her because she has better insight of human understanding.

At the manor house the young girl pleads for the stranger saying, “I think he ought to stay with us today.” She closes the door and takes the stranger by the hand to the dining table. She further says “Wherever he turns, he is chased away. I should like to have him a day of peace with us just once in the whole year.” We should not chase him away whom we have asked to come and have a Christmas cheer.”

Her deep kindness and sympathy have a magic effect on the peddler. It awakens essential goodness in the stranger. So he rises above the evils of greed and cheating because of a young girl. He thanks her for saving him from falling into the world's rattrap.
