The designs of Dedication and Unfaithfulness in The Kite Runner
The Kite Runner was the first story written by Khaled Hosseini, and was released in 2003. The story is definitely told through the eyes in the protagonist Amir, and the situations of his life in Afghanistan, fleeing from Afghanistan to America because of the Soviet-Afghan war, and ultimately returning to Afghanistan to save Sohrab, his half brother’s son. There are various themes that influence the introduction of the story, which include love, dedication, betrayal, payoff, race and many more. These themes are present throughout the novel and helps build up for the suspenseful turning points and conflicts which will make The Kite Runner exciting to read. Each of the characters screen these themes, especially Amir and his the child years friend/half close friend Hassan. However are many themes in The Kite Runner, a pair of the most important styles in The Kite Runner happen to be loyalty and betrayal because loyalty is exactly what connects the characters collectively and type relationships, whilst betrayal breaks relationships and causes conflicts.
Loyalty is actually a strong feeling of support to someone or something. The most noticeable screen of commitment is Hassan towards Amir. Early on in the novel, Hassan displays devotion to Amir and his father Baba, and stays faithful to these people until he dies. Due to Hassan’s dedication, he can end up being described as non selfish and caring. In phase 5, when Amir and Hassan had been picked on by simply neighbourhood bullies Assef, Kamal and Wali, Hassan guards Amir and himself simply by scaring Assef with a slingshot. When Hassan runs the kite to get Amir in chapter 6th, he says “For you, one thousand times over” to Amir. Hassan is expressing his loyalty to Amir by telling Amir he would operate the kite a thousand occasions for Amir. Another instance of Hassan’s loyalty to Amir is within chapter 7, when Hassan got raped because he would not let Assef take the kite. Hassan would not want to be able to his commitment with Amir by giving in the kite. Also after the afeitado, Hassan keeps loyal with Amir, and continues serving him. In chapter 9, Amir betrays Hassan by simply framing him, but despite the fact that Hassan understood he was framed he carries on his devotion with Amir and does not inform Baba having been framed. Despite the fact that Amir betrays Hassan, Amir starts turning out to be loyal to Hassan afterwards in the novel. After Hassan dies and Amir finds out Hassan’s child Sohrab is in trouble, Amir flies back in Afghanistan to rescue Sohrab. Hassan and Amir aren’t the only characters who display loyalty. Effaré displays his loyalty to Hassan by hiring a doctor to fix his harelip, though Hassan was a Hazara and a servant. Loyalty is very important as it provides the characters together and leads Amir to relief Sohrab for Hassan.
The theme of betrayal is important in The Kite Runner since it leads to key turning factors and conflicts in the tale. Both Baba and Amir betrayed those who were best to them. Amir by no means treated Hassan as if having been a true good friend, and betrays Hassan too many times in the book by certainly not willing to help Hassan and pushing him away. In chapter several, Amir watches Hassan receive raped nevertheless does not go to rescue Hassan, despite becoming Amir’s closest friend and always helping Amir if he needed support. After the afeitado, Amir is constantly on the betray Hassan. In chapter 9, Amir frames Hassan by concealing a watch and money below his bed, then accusing him for stealing this. This act of betrayal by Amir leads to one of the main turning parts of the story, with Ali and Hassan’s departure by Baba’s property. The feeling of guilt as a result of Amir betraying Hassan haunted Amir for many years, until he redeemed himself. In addition to Amir’s betrayal to Hassan, Baba betrays Amir by simply lying but not telling Amir that Hassan was his half-brother. Following Amir noticed the news, that changed just how Amir looked at Baba forever. Baba was known inside the novel like a well-respected man with great morals with no tolerance to stealing or lying. Baba breaks his own probe by lying down to Amir and thieving Amir’s rights to know Hassan was Amir’s half sibling and not just a servant. Because multiple prevalence has shown, unfaithfulness led to damage of friendships and issues in the new.
Dedication and betrayal are important central themes in the story. These types of themes altered the outcome of several of the events in the new. Loyalty and betrayal are considered opposites, as loyalty is associated with a friendly relationship, trust and support, yet betrayal is definitely associated with clashes and corruption. Amir is the character who betrays other folks often and Hassan may be the character who will be loyal to others, making Amir and Hassan somewhat opposites. This is a primary reason why Hassan and Amir never totally got along with each other and had so many issues. The sense of guilt caused by Amir betraying Hassan in addition to Amir’s loyalty to Hassan caused him to risk his existence to save Sohrab. The central plot, Amir trying redemption himself by simply saving Sohrab is a result of Amir realising he made a mistake simply by betraying Hassan after Hassan’s loyalty to Amir.
