The Prisoner had received little education and was rather
simple-minded. He had been a steady worker in painting profession. As he had his own family to support, he rendered his mother little financial contribution so far. He liked gambling but was not indulged in it as he still possessed good sense of responsibility to his dependent wife and daughter. He was considered rather stubborn and hot-tempered.
