Question

describe charecter sketch of the narrator in kabuliwala

Answer 1

 The narrator is displayed with a powerful presence that indicates something underneath the surface.On face vale he is a fruit seller & Tagore describes him in an almost wanderer quality.The impression of him at the first description is that he is one that causes an immediate sense of fear in Mini,the child who is afraid that he captures the children & places them in his large bag that he has across his shoulder.Tagore draws out his character as one who forges a bond with the little girl.He is committed to seeing her everyday,"bribing"her almonds & raisins.Tagore plays with the reader in this description,almost trying to tease the reader into believing something sinister in Rahamat's actions in expressing the concerns that the wife of the narrator has in the story.
