In my opinion, the relationship between Amir and Hassan is more like servant and master than others.
Amir is lacking of love from his father and he wants to get attention from Baba even got some disabilities like Hassan. He is jealous because Baba cares Hassan more than him. I think, Amir is disdaining Hassan even though they seems play together sometimes. As Assef said in page72,”Haveyou ever wondered why he never includes you in games when he has guests? Why he only plays with you when no one else is around? ”why? ”Because to him, you are nothing but an ugly pet.” Is this true? Amir confirmed it in page 77, ”He was just a Hazara, wasn’t he?” He can make decision to run because he is afraid of Assef. But how can he make up excuses and get love based on Hassan’s adversity. After this accident, the situation doesn’t get better. Amir is feeling guilty but he didn’t show any love to Hassan. What’s worse, he is more mean to Hassan. When Baba ask him to go Cinema Aryana with Hassan, he shows jealous.
To Hassan, “Amir agha and I are friends.” He will do everything for his friend even to eat dirt. How loyal Hassan is! On the other hand, to Amir, he always laugh at Hassan and he may care about him. But he never avows Hassan as his friend, as he said,” he’s our servant’s son.”
Well,to be quite honest,I don't agree with your opinion. Amir and Hassan are not just servant and master.Because they share lots of things together by heart,memories,laughs,tears and so on. And we all know that, sometimes there is jealousy between friends.
ReplyDeleteFor the upstair,
ReplyDeleteMaybe they are friends, but actually in the author's heart, he is ashamed to face to the words:"He is my friend". This is what we have received from the author. At least so far, they are master and servant. And what's more.
When his brother need a hand, he did nothing.
He has no the qualifications to be brother, at least so far.
well，I agree with Qian Zhang,I think they not only the servant and master. sometime they are friends.
ReplyDeleteWhen a challenge comes, it could challenging their real friendship. Hassan's love can be challenged but Amir's cannot. His love is so fragile.
