The Browning Version Main Theme<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Browning Version is an extract from a play by Terence Rattigan. Taplow, a sixteen-year-old student has to meet his teacher Mr Crocker-Harris at 6.30 p.m. in order to make up for some classes he had missed. While he waits for Mr Harris, he meets Frank, a science teacher in the school, and the two get into conversation. Mostly they talk about Mr Crocker-Harris whom Taplow calls \u2018Crock\u2019. Mr Crocker-Harris emerges as a strict disciplinarian, who speaks gently even when he is not saying anything pleasing to the students. In spite of his strictness, Taplow likes him and Frank envies him. He is not a sadist like some other teachers. Towards the end of the play, Millie, Crocker-Harris\u2019 wife, enters. She knows about Taplow\u2019s \u2018extra work\u2019. She sends him away.<\/p>\n
