What Is Hassan's Loyalty In The Kite Runner

Khaled Hosseini's "The Kite Runner" is a touching tale about one's struggles through hard times. Although the author does not specifically relate to the reasons of Hassan's loyalty, the text explores how the incident of the alleyway has brought out the best as well as the worst in human nature. The unconscionable horrors that follow might dehumanize the victim, erode their faith to mankind irrevocably, however, Hassan never sinks to such levels but rather transcends from this and shows the full degree of his devotion to Amir. Contrary speaking, Amir fails to overcome his shame and resorts to such acts as betraying Hassan's loyalty, as his guilt has resulted him to frame Hassan where these actions have caused Amir fleeting moments of remorse
Seeing that, the human body and mind is often put to challenge, at hard times. In such conditions, the yardstick for human behavior changes drastically, as our feelings often takes over and causes us to do things that we will regret. As readers we know that, we usually make mistakes at hard times, as we often say things we don't mean and do things we wish we had not. Amir's case was no different; he was put into a difficult position and had done something that he regretted.
This is shown after the incident, when Amir had turned an insomniac, as his dreams had brought back memories of Hassan. The significance of this is that, it shows that Amir still have some moral grounds and is displaying some form of remorse, unlike Assef. Even whilst being a successful novelist in America, Amir had found it in himself to repent for his sins, embarking on a journey to Afghanistan to save his nephew. In spite of Amir's actions, we can see that the events of that cold winter day in 1975 had brought forth both the best as well as the worst in Amir. On the other hand, whether he has atoned for his sins or not is up to our own
