Love Theme in The Kite Runner

The Relationship between Amir and Hassan

Hassan was loyal to Amir through everything because that is the personality he was born with, because he grew up with Amir and looked up to him as a brother a friend, not because he was born a Hazara and not simply because he was Amir's servant. Amir never asked Hassan to do anything like that for him. This accentuated Hassan's love and loyalty for Amir out of his own free will.
