Mrs Mahmood. Short Story Analisis
Mr Mahmood: He has plenty of skeletons in his closet and is extremely regretful of the fact that
he did not pursue fully his skill in running during his youth, due to the fear of failure. He was
arrogant and didnt want people to see him fall. We can see this in his desire for consistency

This makes him feel unaccomplished and rejected and cannot forgive himself. We also noticed
hes a very perceptive person, we see this in his meticulousness while taking care of the shop
