Baba betrayed his friend in the worst way an Afghan man could be disgraced: “How had Ali lived in that house day in and day out, knowing he had been dishonored by his master in the single worst way an Afghan man can be dishonored?” (225) Baba stole Ali’s honor. He had slept with Ali’s wife and bore a son, Hassan. This is the source of Baba’s guilt. A guilt that stays with Baba for the rest of his life. It causes him to do different things, such as feeding the poor on the streets, building an orphanage, giving money to friends in need.
Baba never discusses her with Amir, and he doesn’t appreciate the qualities she passed down to her son “That was how I escaped my father's aloofness, in my dead mother's books” this being a disgrace to baba as he wished for a masculine son "Real men didn't read poetry-and God forbid they should ever write it!” this effectively showing baba’s disinterest in Amir as Baba believes a real man is interested in sports. One interpretation to explain his lack of conformity to the ideal model of manhood could be due to his mother as she feminizes him even though she's almost
She had married herself in to the Creole culture. Edna not does not exactly fit into the creole society and does not understand their typical lifestyle. Edna feels oppressed by society, as she does not believe in the role she’s expected to play by the society. Which is to be the mother like figure and in addition to be caring for your husband and be attentive to all his needs. Yet Edna is not the typical woman, as she believes in expressing herself and living freely without society’s rules and oppression holding her down.
But perhaps you didn't notice that I’m the one holding the slingshots." *Hassan is defending himself and Amir to bullies who want to beat them up and are threatening them. "I treated Hassan... like a brother...But...why, when Baba's friends came to visit with their kids, didn't I ever include Hassan in our games? *Amir was ashamed to have Hassan involved with him when he was with others. "Inshallah...that was the thing with Hassan.
No pleasure but meanness.” He was an extremist—a black or white thinker. If he had believed that Jesus had raised the dead he would have been good only out of compunction and not from a sincere heart. At one point he had been a Christian but apparently lost his faith. However, he ended up fulfilling his father’s prophecy that he was not good like his siblings were but was instead predisposed to getting into trouble. Perhaps this is why he killed his father.
She instantly jumps to the conclusion that witchcraft is afoot, which is apparent when she states “Mark it for a sign, mark it!” when Betty thrashes in her “trance.” She is also paranoid by the fact that there must be some paranormal reason as to why her babies have perished. And it is these traits that differentiate her from Abigail. This use of contrast by Miller emphasizes the characterization of the two characters. But it is Rebecca Nurse who stands out among this crowd. Both Abigail and Mrs. Putnam are bitter and to a certain extent spiteful yet Rebecca Nurse carries none of these mannerisms.
After he says this, Amir knows where the conversation is going, but he does not want to hear it. Rahim tells him that Baba is Hassan's legitimate father, and Baba managed to keep that secret from both Hassan and Amir their whole lives. This could also have indirectly been the cause of Hassan's death, because if he had known, his life would have theoretically been completely different. But the reason Baba did not tell this to anyone because it would have put their family in danger. Being related to a Hazran would have meant suffering for all of them, so Baba did the righteous thing and kept it to himself in order to keep his reputation in the community.
Baba, betrays Ali by sleeping with his wife and consequently took away his “naang” and “namoos” (honour and pride), an unacceptable act in Afghan culture where all a man had was his pride. This new information also affects Amir’s relationship with his father and builds on the recurring theme of father-son relationships “Fifteen years after I’d buried him, I was learning that Baba had been a thief” which makes Amir think of Baba as less of the ideal Afghan man he imagined his father to be. These findings also shock the reader and affect our relationship with Baba as we see him in a different light, we remember with Amir as we have been told the stories from his childhood perspective, we know revisit them but with Amir’s new perception and understanding of the events, the signs that Baba was Hassan’s real father become

She has no say in what she wants. In relation to that, the novel Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Hamlet being the protagonist, is shown with being respectfully mistreated because of the lost of his father. He soon later finds out the town has been lied to by no other than his uncle, the one who started the rumours. The similarity these two stories have is that someone has been spreading lies to everyone to make these individuals be nothing to society. With the type of lies that are being created in the olden days, more of the minorities are being shown as being the bad guys because of the higher ups are unable to speak for themselves properly.
