Abstract
The major purpose of this paper is to explore and expose the multi-narrative of Talat Abbasi’s short story “Mirage.” This paper also aims to analyze the multifaceted forms of psychological issues and internal agony of the Nameless Narrator, who is also a mother of a special child who cannot communicate and walk properly. Mother, in this story, shows a self-pity attitude towards herself and her son. Her distressed narrative, her painful discourses, and her embarrassing expression towards her son in front of others expose her psychological emptiness and spiritual anguish. This paper examines the Narrator’s distressing behavior while applying psychoanalytic theory to Abbasi’s short story. This paper also focuses on the narrator’s/ mother’s apologetic attitude at people’s long and questioning stares at her special child.
