Topic –Essay Type Q-Ans. of
‘The Enemy’
Q. 1 Why and how did Dr. Sadao help the
prisoner of war to escape?
Ans. As a doctor, Sadao had been trained not to let a
man die if he could help him. And that was what he did. Dr. Sadao and his wife
Hana had found that man in a very bad state on the beach. He was badly wounded.
Dr. Sadao saw that the man was an American prisoner of war who had escaped. It
was a grave crime to give shelter to an enemy soldier. And Dr. Sadao didn’t
want to help him. But at the same time, he couldn’t ignore his duty as a
doctor. So he took the man on his house and did all that he could do to save
his life. During that whole period, he never forgot that the man was enemy. He
even thought of handling him over the police but couldn’t do so. He was certain
that they would kill him. He was in a fix what to do. He adopted the course
that could be the best under such circumstances. He helped the man to escape in
a boat. Thus he got rid of the enemy without having him killed.
