Khaled Hosseini was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, on March 4th Hosseini 's homeland was the inspiration for his novel, The Kite Runner, which gave his readers a taste of what Afghanistan was before the brutal invasions of the Taliban. He spent his early childhood living in Tehran, Iran, where he befriended his family 's cook. The unexpected friendship between a young Afghan and a member of the Hazara ethnic group exposed Hosseini to the acts of injustice against minority groups in Afghanistan.
Pranav Dantu Mr. The novel is written in a first-person point of view tracing the journey of redemption of an Afghan native named Amir. Amir grows up wealthy and privileged by Afghan standards and is surrounded mostly by his father and his friend, Hassan. Hassan was a less fortunate boy who belonged to the lower caste of the Afghanis, the Hazaras. In the novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Amir and Hassan's first words were significant to each character and the development of the novel.
Amir's first word was "Baba"; he wanted to make him proud, which proved to be a difficult challenge. Hassan's first word "Amir"; he loved Amir with all his heart and was raised to be loyal but when he really needed him Amir was not there for him.
It also foreshadowed how the character would leave a long lasting effect on the other character's life. Amir and Hassan's first words signified how even as a small child they knew who they wanted to accepted them. Amir's first word indicated how much Baba meant to him. After Hassan is raped, the book focuses on Amir being driven by his feelings of guilt, his personal growth as he and Baba move to the U.
Throughout the novel, his character ultimately changes from him being a selfish child to a selfless adult. He eventually marries Soraya, who cannot birth children, and they adopt Hassan's son, Sohrab. Baba — Father of Amir and also secretly to Hassan, Baba is a larger-than-life figure who works hard and doesn't let anyone's doubts stop him from accomplishing his goals, but stands by his own strict moral principles and is often tough on Amir.
Baba goes from a wealthy and well-respected, but unhappy, businessman in Afghanistan to a much happier gas station worker making little money in America.
Hassan is an excellent kite runner, and is naturally intelligent, but because of his social class as a poor ethnic Hazara, is illiterate and seen as inferior in Afghan society. He becomes the victim of racism, rape, oppression, and murder over the course of his relatively short life, yet always remains loyal, forgiving, and good natured especially to Amir throughout the novel.
Although he is not present for a majority of the novel, Hassan's plays a major role in the character development of Amir, Baba, and even Sohrab. He is the only one who knows all of Baba's secrets about his affair with Sanaubar and about Hassan. Sohrab — Son of Hassan and Farzana.
For Amir, Sohrab serves as a means for Amir to atone for what happened between him and Hassan. Later on in the novel, he becomes the central focus of the plot as Amir seeks redemption by eventually adopting Sohrab. He is also an ethnic Hazara and is great with a slingshot, just like his father. Ali — One of Baba's loyal servants, Ali also acts as the "father" to Hassan. He loves Hassan, but he rarely openly expresses his emotions.
A poor and an ethnic Hazara, he walks with a limp caused by polio. Soraya is smart and strong-willed, especially when it comes to the treatment of women in Afghan culture. Assef — The novel's primary antagonist. Assef is the rapist of Hassan and Sohrab and symbolizes all of the troubles plaguing Afghanistan. He is a racist whose goal is to get rid of all of the Hazaras in Afghanistan by inflicting sexual violence and abuse on the poor and defenseless.
Kamal — At the beginning of the novel, Kamal is a coward who helps Assef rape Hassan. However, after he is raped himself, he becomes a representation of the violent nature destroying Afghanistan. Though Amir never got to know her, he learns that she had a love for literature just like him.
Amir seeks more information about Sofia throughout the novel. General Taheri is a stereotypical Afghan male, both as a father and husband, by placing extreme value on upholding traditional Afghan customs.
Although Sanaubar is infamous for having an affair with Baba and abandoning Hassan, she becomes a caring grandmother to Sohrab when she later appears again in the novel.
Farid helps Amir in his search to find and rescue Sohrab. A former mujahedin fighter, Farid represents the hardships that many Afghans faced during the warfare that ravaged the country.
As with any parent-child relationship, there are ups and downs along the way to mutual respect and admiration, and The Kite Runner depicts the turbulent road well. The flawed relationship between Baba and Amir is the primary example of this theme , as Amir struggles to win over his father for affection throughout the novel, meanwhile Baba tries to love Amir despite them having little in common.
The father-son relationship becomes a critical part of Amir's character growth during his quest for redemption, as he attempts to be a father to Sohrab by rescuing him and adopting him. Although the novel never shows Sohrab and Hassan together, it is understood that Hassan was a great father to Sohrab before he was killed. The guilt that Amir feels far outweighs that of the other characters in the novel, though Baba's guilt comes close as his quest for redemption for his wrongdoings closely resembles that of Amir's.
Amir discovers the consequences of guilt after making decisions throughout his childhood that were destructive. Many things made him feel guilty, starting at birth. Amir started feeling guilty for killing his mother during childbirth, even though it was out of his control.
The guilt that Amir feels due to his actions, which destroyed his relationship with Hassan, haunts him throughout his entire life as illustrated over the course of the novel. The use of guilt in the story proves that we all make mistakes all the time, and are ridden by guilt because of actions, but there is always a way to redeem and forgive oneself, and to be forgiven by others.
The central betrayal comes when Amir watches and does nothing as Hassan, who has always stood up for Amir in the past, gets raped by Assef. Amir then worsens the betrayal by driving Ali and Hassan from the household. Amir: "I remember the precise moment, crouching behind a crumbling mud wall, peeking into the alley near the frozen creek. For Baba, a place to mourn his. Baba: "When you kill a man, you steal a life," Baba said.
Assef: "But before you sacrifice yourself for him, think about this: Would he do the same for you?
