On the other hand, Hassan is a representation of humanity. Here, Amir is the representative of humans. Now, coming to the point, the two central characters of the book denote the two identical terms - human and humanity. The storyline then follows Hassan’s rape, expelling Hassan on charges of theft, Russia's attack against Afghanistan, Amir and his father’s running away from Afghanistan to America, Amir’s wedding, his return to Afghanistan and rescuing Hassan’s son, Sohrab, and the book ends with Amir adopting Sohrab. So, Amir becomes envious of Hassan, and things start to deteriorate which changes both of their lives forever. However, for some reason, Amir’s Baba loves Hassan more than he should.

Hassan, being a Hazara (mainly Shi'a, who are treated as a lower class), acts as Amir’s friend cum helping-hand, because Amir is a Pashtun. Through the story of two Afghan boys Amir and Hassan and their childhood, the book starts its journey. The book is narrated by its central character Amir himself. Being written by Khaled Hosseini, the book became a bestseller immediately after its publication. The Kite Runner was first published in 2003. And, ‘The Kite Runner’ is a tale of humans and humanity. Rather, there are some grey areas between good and evil, black and white, light and darkness, and these are the areas to which most people belong.ĭespite being in the grey area, it is the humane deeds, the humanity of mankind which makes them real humans. Is there any human being who is absolutely good or absolutely evil? Probably not.
