The Rat Trap by Selma Lagerlöf is the story of a ragged, emaciated vagabond who earns his crust of bread by selling homemade wire rat traps.
As he travels, he imagines the entire world is one large rat trap and is somewhat comforted by imagining the snares that entice the rich, that is, until he himself is caught.
Ending surprised us, and we all had an opinion of its meaning.
