One of These Days-Comprehension Questions

The document is a set of questions about the short story "One of These Days" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It asks the reader to identify the protagonist as the dentist and the antagonist as the mayor. The mayor wants the dentist to treat his tooth issue, but the dentist refuses at first because he does not like the mayor. Eventually the dentist agrees to treat the mayor but purposely does not use anesthesia, seeking revenge by wanting the mayor to suffer. The relationship between the two characters is one of non-honesty and revenge, as evidenced by the dentist's lie about not using anesthesia and his desire to inflict pain.
