Heya mate...
Postmaster’s character
The postmaster at the post-office was an ordinary man having qualities which usually postmen and village schoolmasters have. His usual facial expression was sadness; there was not a trace of any shine or cheerfulness in his features. We can say his face was as inexpressive as a pumpkin. He had dual personality. We saw him behaving insensitively and indifferently to Ali before he himself went through Ali-like pain and suffering. However, after going through the pain of separation from his own daughter, his arrogance was completely transformed into sympathy for Ali. Now he empathized with him. He wondered he could not bear the suspense concerning his daughter's health only for one night, and how Ali must have gone through the painful suspense concerning his daughter, Miriam, for five years! He felt remorseful for his misbehavior. Coincidentally, when he saw Miriam's letter addressed to Ali, he picked it up excitedly thinking he would hand over the letter to Ali himself. Thus, we see the postmaster as a man who evolves from callousness to empathy.

The post master was a simple man. Just living a simple life. He pretend old man Ali a fool because of his faith that his daughter would send a letter to her. He made fun of Ali by asking his name during the checking of letters . One day he was in bad mood he abused Ali. But after some days her daughter became sick and he was not able to met her. He accepted that a letter would be sended to him. When he started checking letters he founded the letter of Ali but not his daughter's letter. By this he was shocked how it was happened. Now he experiences the same pain of Ali and at early morning he woke up and gave the letter to Ali. This shows that he realises his mistake and corrected it
