Malouf uses simple stories of Somax to show the harsh and yet enjoyable realities of life to Priam but it also gives them a sense of their own humanity to which has been hidden until now. One story of Somax’s that Malouf entails is the death of Somax’s sons, it allows Somax to show Priam that not all is peachy outside of the kingdom and that war doesn’t only happen from kingdom to kingdom. Malouf does this to show that Somax is his own person that he to suffers from grief and loss. Somax shows Priam what he’s missed out on while he’s been living up to everyone else’s expectations, one thing he teaches him is how food is made up of ingredients and made by humans and is not just brought to you.

It was Amir’s betrayal rather than the rape itself which destroys the relationship between Amir and Hassan and ultimately forces him to leave the home he grew up in. The betrayal of Amir ensured him (the adult Amir) to never forget Hassan's great loyalty and never stopped feeling guilty, which have him a strong reasons to repay the debt.
