Q: There is something essentially sad about the portrayal of the Tailor in “My Tailor”.
“My Tailor”.
The second part of the essay is full of pathos. The facts “ in this part make the humour pensive. In the first part of essay, I we have formed the impression that the tailor was very formal, he was peaceful and happy, his business was going on well. But in the later part of the essay, all these impressions are shed off. We learn about the sad and sudden death of the tailor.
' Everything was as usual but he was not there. So far we have been viewing him as a machine. Now we feel sympathy when we leam that he was a man. He was always still and tranquil, now we leam that worry of his business killed him.
He had a wife and a daughter who were left badly off. The writer never conceived him as having a wife. He knew music and played the flute. He was also a sidesman of a church. The writer had no conversation with him on religion. It was hard to connect him with the idea of religion. We feel sonry at our first impression of such a man. The writer also seems to laugh through his tear.
