The correct answer is option C "Hally is friendly with Willie and Sam but then demands they call him Master Harold". In the play "Master Harold"...and the Boys by Athol Fugard, Hally is a highschool student who is very friendly and smart but is also cynical and arrogant. These are contradictory features of Hally, leading to contradictions such as he being friendly with Willie and Sam but also, demanding them to being called Master Harold to feed his arrogance.
