the professor in saboteur

1 answer

is a character that I particularly disliked in the short story "Saboteur" by Ha Jin. He is characterized as arrogant, power-hungry, and corrupt, showing no empathy or regard for others. The professor abuses his position of authority to manipulate and oppress the main character, Mr. Chiu, solely because of a petty disagreement. His lack of humanity and willingness to abuse his power for personal gain make him a detestable character in the story.
