Question

Describe the relationship between God and the bailiff in the story. How is this relationship significant to be story's plot? Cite specific evidence from the text in your response.

Answer 1

The relationship between the Bailiff and God is one of Judge and executioner.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a court gives an order, it is the work of the bailiff to ensure that those orders are obeyed. He is like the law enforcement agent, or custodian, or legal officer of the court. In some cases, the bailiff has the powers to size properties, freeze bank account, etc.

The relationship dynamic is very significant to the story's plot. There was no way the story would have been complete without the presence of a Bailiff

Several times in the text, for instance, the Bailiff was asked to sinners away to their proper cells. See lines 9, 15, and 25.

Cheers!
