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:
“And in cases where profound conviction has been wrought, the eloquent man is he who is no beautiful speaker, but who is inwardly drunk with a certain belief. It agitates and tears him, and perhaps almost bereaves him of the power of articulation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In most cases a favorite writer is more with us in his book than he ever could have been in the flesh; since, being a writer, he is one who has studied and perfected this particular mode of personal incarnation, very likely to the detriment of any other. I should like as a matter of curiosity to see and hear for a moment the men whose works I admire; but I should hardly expect to find further intercourse particularly profitable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
