Question

Analyse the use of the child narrator in Chughtai’s ‘Lihaf’(T​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lihaaf means the Quilt. It was the figure formed under the quilt in night that the child narrator describes which she was not able to know the meaning of. So, by using child narrator, the author covered the obscenity yet presented forbidden subjects, just like lihaaf covered the truth and reality.
