Answer the following questions briefly.
What impression do you form of the postmaster after reading the story 'The Letter'?
The post-master was a man who looked sad and dull most of the time. He appeared to be arrogant, impatient, haughty, insensitive and ill-mannered because he behaved rudely with Ali, irritated by his presence. He could not understand why Ali was so persistent in waiting for his daughter's letter and appeared to be insensitive to his plight. When he heard news of his own daughter's ill health, his trauma, anxiety, and impatience to hear from her made him sympathize with Ali because he was suffering from the same anxiety from separation. He felt remorseful for his behaviour to Ali and realized the emotions conveyed in the letters and postcards.
