Question

Answer the following question in 30 - 40 words.

You can feel other's pain only when you go through it yourself. Validate this statement with reference to the story, "The Letter" and why it took place?

Answer 1

In "The Letter," Coachman Ali, once indifferent to others' emotions, becomes deeply empathetic only after experiencing the pain of waiting for news from his own daughter. The postmaster similarly understands Ali's anguish only after his own daughter falls ill, illustrating that one truly feels another's pain when faced with similar personal suffering.
