The relationship between Amir and Hassan it’s sometimes complicated. They are best friends but they are also like brothers.
Sometimes Amir doesn’t like Hassan, because Amir wants all attention from his father. In the winter 1975, Amir sees for the last time Hassan run for a kite. Amir wants to win this tournament because he wants to impress Baba. Hassan tells Amir in the morning of the kite tournament that he had a dream. A dream about Hassan and Amir and how they were swimming on the lake. Here Amir trust Hassan and follow him in the water, pg59 “there’s no monster….and before anyone can stop you, you dive into the water, start swimming away. I follow you in and we’re both swimming.” We can see here that they are like brothers, they trust each other.
After Amir wins the annual kite fights he looks for Hassan and he saw Hassan talks with Assef. Assef tells Hassan that he is not really Amir’s friends, but only his servant. Hassan have doubts now about Amir.
On page 58 Amir tells Hassan he will buy him a tv. “Hassan’s face brightened” I think Amir wants Hassan to be happy and sometimes they are like brothers. Amir have a good father but in the same time he wants his father just for him. That’s why their relationship it’s complicated.
