The Kite Runner Compare And Contrast

The importance of each theme is somewhat different in each work. In The Kite Runner, everyone is guilty of something. Baba, lies to his sons, Ali hides Hassan’s true identity, Amir sacrifices his friendship with Hassan, and Rahim Khan gives Amir the idea of sending Hassan away. Rahim Khan proves to be Amir’s friend however when he gives him a second chance and asks him to forgive his father and more especially himself. Rahim Khan makes amends not only for his own sins but also for Baba when he tells Amir the truth about Hassan. Oedipus Rex is the same case: Laius orders the assassination of his son, Jocasta accepts her husband’s order, and Oedipus kills his father. At the end of the characters recognize their mistakes and pay for their crimes.
