Question

What impression do you form about Coachman
Ali on reading the story, 'The Letter'?

Answer 1

Coachman Ali is an extremely poignant character.

He has a lot of love and compassion for his only

child Miriam and misses her terribly. He displays

remarkable qualities of not only love but also of

immense patience and tirelessly goes to the post

office each day for five years. Many a time it is

almost impossible to believe that Ali had once been

a habitual shikari. He is a helpless character who has

a very remorseful end.
