    From my opinion i think yes, because he had treated everybody else badly so he deserves whatever he got!

    No. Despite being a puritan, a stiff and proper servant who likes nothing better than to spoil other people’s fun, he does not get what he deserves. I pitied him as Maria and Toby thought he was mad and confined in a dark room, showing that he was victimized by them and had became a victim himself. It seems that this unfortunate servant had, embodiment of order and sobriety had to be sacrificed so that the rest of the characters can indulge in the liveness and joyfulness felt in the story
