In the third sentence of the first paragraph, the narrator’s description of Mrs. De Ropp as “those three-fifths of the world that are necessary and disagreeable and real” suggests that Mrs. De Ropp is a strict person who fails to appreciate Conradin’s creative spirit

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

According to Sredni Vashtar (Chronicles of Clovis) it is stated about the story of Clovis:

<em>Conradin was ten years old, and the doctor had pronounced his professional opinion that the boy would not live another five years. The doctor was silky and effete, and counted for little, but his opinion was endorsed by Mrs. De Ropp, who counted for nearly everything. Mrs. De Ropp was Conradin's cousin and guardian, and in his eyes she represented </em><em>those three-fifths of the world that are necessary and disagreeable and real;</em><em> the other two-fifths, in perpetual antagonism to the foregoing, were summed up in himself and his imagination. One of these days Conradin supposed he would succumb to the mastering pressure of wearisome necessary things---such as illnesses and coddling restrictions and drawn-out dulness. Without his imagination, which was rampant under the spur of loneliness, he would have succumbed long ago.</em>

Answer:

In the given quote from the short story ‘Sredni Vashtar’ the author Saki (Hector Hugh Munro, 1870 - 1916) suggests that the main character Conradin is seeing the world to consist of two parts. His cousin Mrs. De Ropp, whom he deeply despises, belongs to the bigger part of the world (three-fifth).

Explanation:

  • This part is <em>necessary</em>, because it keeps the material things around Conradin to function properly (like getting food, fresh clothing, etc).  
  • This part is <em>disagreeable</em>, because it imposes its rules and control over Conradin, as Mrs. De Ropp does.  
  • This part is <em>real, </em>because it is material, opposing to the imaginary world, with which Conradin identifies himself.
