The Rattrap is a short story written by Selma Lagerlöf about a man who lives a downtrodden life as a vagabond and poor rattrap seller. He looks at the world through spectacles of cynicism and misery because of the situation in which he finds himself. He thinks of the world as a rat trap, where we are pulled in by the rat trap of materialistic things. In the story, he resorts to petty thievery and selling rat traps to sustain himself. However, this is not enough, as he still leads an impoverished life. In summary of The Rattrap, it is the story of a man who realizes that true happiness is found from the inside, through love, respect and appreciation, and not from materialistic things.
