After I read chapter 5, 6 and 7, I feel the relationship between Amir and Hassan is complicated and mainly seems like servant and master, however, it includes a little relationship of friends.
To Amir, he was always confused concerning the relationship between them. We can be aware of that in page 41, it said“But he’s not my friend! I almost blurted. He’s my servant! Had I thought that? Of course I hadn’t. I hadn’t. I treated Hassan well, just like a friend, better even, more brother.” They always play together for fun. We can see their relationship from that. In page 46, “I wished I too had some kind of scar that would beget Baba’s sympathy. It wasn’t fair. Hassan hadn’t done anything to earn Baba’s affections; He’d just been born with that stupid harelip.” We can know that Amir look down upon Hassan. He thought Hassan is just his servant.
On the other hand, Hassan treated Amir as a good friend and he is loyal to his friend. Hassan threw himself into the beach to protect Amir When Assef wanted to hurt Amir. In page 42, he said “Please leave us alone.” Then he drove them away. But Hassan always was obedient to Amir.
To sum up, I would think the relationship between them is servant and master more than frends.
