In Hanan El-Sheikh story, we have the deception and it cause, trailed by the secondary cause to finally reveal to us that it is a deception. After that, we have the confession and finally the end that shows us the importance of that silly deception.

Some of the expressions in the text prove that: "raising her skirt above her bar knees". Also, the reader is dazzled by the husband social status and the madness of the wife that only at the end is revealed to be faked and the reason of faking it. The whole story, the purpose of her insanity is to get a divorce from her husband and be with the man she loves. But the kindness of her husband who loves her and won't give up on her, even though she's "insane", was the main issue for her. Although her mother in law tried to make him remarried because she despised Fatin, but he refused. There is a part where she gets her insanity spilled on her mother-in-law before she decides to tell the truth and reveals that she's fully sane. In the text we have parts showing her madness, she tried to make herself ugly by drinking milk and eating gassy food and by not brushing her teeth only to disgust her husband and push him away. But all this is in vain. Even when she tries to tell the truth in a sober condition, they presume that her insanity is speaking.
