It is the first novel of Hosseini which had been one of the bestselling in New York Times ranking list. It studies Hassan's tragedy from three aspects, including the social environment in Afghanistan, the loyalty of Hassan, and the selfishness of Amir. Besides, it also discusses the friendship and betrayal between two boys-Hassan and Amir. Finally, the terrible life of Hassan in Afghanistan is under investigated.展开更多

Themes of sin and redemption feature prominently in the novel. The story tells the sin of the hero, Amir and his re-demption. Amir hurt his friend Hassan in his childhood and felt deeply guilty. Even after settling in the United States and having asuccessful career, he could not forgive himself. Later, he redeemed himself by rescuing Hassan's son, Sohrab. This essay will ana-lyze the motives of Amir's sin and redemption from various perspectives.展开更多

Researchers have studied the"kite"itself, the friendship between main characters and the cultural image reflected in this work. So the individualities and commonalities among these three characters are analyzed. Firstly, it partly describes Amir's cowardice and responsibility and Hassan's kindness, tolerance and loyalty. Then it narrates the features of both father and Amir which changed from cowardice to responsibility and the kindness and loyalty sides of father and Hassan. Finally, it can be seen that father and Hassan tried to be a kind, tolerant and loyal person for their whole lives. This thesis studies the characters of father from the characters of Amir and Hassan, not only gives a deep analysis of father but also describes a detailed individualities of Amir and Hassan which gives novel a new comprehensive understanding which can be used to study other similar literary works.展开更多

Up till now, many scholars have studied the novel in such aspects as religious disputes, racial discrimination, the images of kite, portrait of Hassan, betrayal and redemption and narrative strategies, etc. However, this paper chooses to analyze such features as the plot pattern, contents and set of characters reflected in the novel to explore how the novel describes the characterization of Amir from the perspective of personal growth.展开更多
