Dr. Sadao planned and helped the enemy soldier to escape. Comment.

OR

Give an account of the blunders committed by the prison authorities which helped Evans in escaping from the prison.

Dr Sadao was a very dedicated doctor. His profession was like prayer for him. Bounded by the promises that he made during his oath-taking ceremony, he couldn’t let the soldier go untreated. He had promised at the beginning of his career that treating everyone without discriminating them on any basis would be his prime duty. True to his promise he took the soldier in, hid him till he got well and treated him generously.

Another reason why Sadao treated the soldier is that he wanted to pay his gratitude to America as a nation. He had got a lot of good things in life from America. His medical degree was from America and moreover he had met his lovely wife Hana in America. For all these reasons he wanted to pay homage to America since it had somehow or the other enriched Sadao’s life. So Sadao saved the soldier and treated him till he got well.

There were a series of blunders committed by the prison authorities which helped Evans execute his plan successfully. The very first place where the authorities fell short was their over-confidence. They were too convinced that Evans won’t be able to plan an escape from such tight security. This lead them to commit their second mistake- they let Evans take the German classes which weren’t German classes at all. It was rather entirely a plan and the German teacher himself was Evans’s acquaintance. Whereas the jail authorities thought him to be someone from technical College. They also didn’t bother to verify the Invigilator’s identity plus Jackson not allowing Evans to remove the ‘bobble-hat’ was a blunder too. Had Stephens not shifted Evans from the cell, the escape wouldn’t have been possible. Also, McLeery should’ve been thoroughly checked and the rubber ring should have been examined. The jail staff also believed that the injured was the invigilator and not Evans himself. Even after all the planning, when Evans was finally caught and captivated, the Governor sent him off in the prison van which was originally driven by Evans’s own people.
