FINAL EXAM WRITING 19

When one loves another, his loyalty never falters no matter what sins are committed against him. This theme is most clear in the relationship between Hassan and Amir. No matter how much Amir hurts, betrays, and pushes him away, Hassan never fails to show compassion and devotion towards Amir, as a best friend and a servant. Although they never knew they were really brothers, they grew up their entire lives with a special bond, and even fed from the same breast. This theme is most clear when Amir betrays Hassan by doing nothing to help him as he gets raped, instead of resenting Amir, Hassan is forgiving because his love for him is so strong. Hassan doesn’t blame Amir; even through he went through unimaginable pain just to save a blue kite for Amir (for a superficial reason). The incident at the pomegranate tree, also demonstrates that Hassan never would want to hurt his brother, and has already forgave him for what he had done. Instead of hitting Amir with the fruit, he hurts himself. Again he sacrifices himself for Amir. After many years, Hassan’s love never dies, in his adulthood he writes letters to Amir and tells him that if he ever returns to Afghanistan he will always have a faithful and loving friend waiting for him. No matter what, his love or faithfulness will never falter for Amir, no matter how badly Amir betrays him or his family.
