But it is the narrator, not Hamid, who marries; his bride is a cousin with whom he has long imagined himself to be in love. The two marry after the death of the narrator's father, who owned a small tailoring business in Isfahan. Gradually the narrator becomes alienated from daily life, and lives out an obsessive imaginary relationship with his dead father.
