Question

what is the main theme of the lesson the letter?

Answer 1

The theme and message of the story ‘The Letter’ is that sometimes the postmaster could not understand Ali’s plight till the time he himself experienced the same situation. There was a drastic change in his heart after his own daughter became unwell. He realised that letters are not just envelopes and postcards, but they have great human worth. The newly awakened father’s heart cursed him for maltreating Ali.

The story also depicts the unconditional love that parents have for their children.
