In 'A Triumph of Surgery', how does Tricki's condition reflect the consequences of pampering pets excessively ? What does this suggest about human attachment ?
Official answer
Consequences of excessive pampering:
Pampering makes Tricki extremely sick
Sometimes love/care/over indulgence becomes toxic /harmful
Importance of saying “No” – Mrs Pumphrey never said no to Tricki’s food demands
Love without firmness turns into blind pampering
Human attachment:
Reflects excessive emotional attachment
Humans over indulge with their loved ones sometimes
Discipline in care is essential
Human attachment when uncontrolled, becomes harmful
