This happens throughout the entire novel, when his immoral actions are justified by either helping to protect Jim, the fact that he learns and grows from his wrong-doings, and that many of his lies are only to ensure one’s safety.

Amir committed the deadly sin of being envious towards Hassan being in Amir’s life and his value towards Baba, which left him in guilt for witnessing Hassan’s struggle growing up. This all left him in unhappiness throughout his adulthood and married life as he was never able to forgive himself unless he had strived for Hassan’s forgiveness.

The fact that Algernon can nonchalantly reveal a secret to another liar shows the shallowness in Victorian relationships. Their bonds hold no loyalty to one another and so they constantly abuse it. Algernon lies and keeps using “Bunbury” as an excuse so that he may get out of having to see them because seeing them is a chore to him.
