The Cases
The books have done their best to highlight, which perhaps no other writer in Bengali fiction has attempted, an in-depth psychoanalysis of the human mind. According to Humayun Ahmed, the creator of this character, Misir Ali is the most logical person. Misir Ali believes that nothing can happen without reason . To him, there is a rational explanation behind everything. Being a professor of a subject that deals with the human mind, he is interested in the way that mind works. And he tries to explain every unusual thing that he confronts with his wisdom and logic. In each book, a new mystery finds Misir Ali, though he is reluctant to take cases. But he will get himself involved in the mystery. As the mystery is solved, the readers will often get a plausible explanation of cases because logic is always the centerpiece of all his theories.

Famous quotes containing the word cases:
“There are few cases in which mere popularity should be considered a proper test of merit; but the case of song-writing is, I think, one of the few.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“For the most part, we are not where we are, but in a false position. Through an infirmity of our natures, we suppose a case, and put ourselves into it, and hence are in two cases at the same time, and it is doubly difficult to get out.”
