Short Questions
Question 1 : How can one recognise Macavity?
Answer : If there is someone who has sunken eyes and a deeply lined forehead; whose coat is dusty and whiskers uncombed, one should be sure that he is encountering Macavity. In addition to this, Macavity’s head always moves from side-to-side like movement of the snake.
Question 2 : What does the poet reveal about Macavity in the final stanza of the poem?
Answer : In the final stanza of the poem, the poet calls Macavity the monster of deprivity, which means that he is morally corrupt and degraded. The poet also calls him a devil in the form of a cat. Here and there, it is still easy to find Macavity; but when at the crime scene, never.
