Baba's Roll in Amir's Reaction to Hassan's Tragedy

I was shocked by what happened to Hassan, but not necessarily that shocked with Amir’s reaction. I blame part of Amir’s character to the way he is treated by his father, which is ironic because this is exactly the thing his father would never want his son to allow to happen. He raised a child feeling so much pressure to make his father proud, that he would go to the extent of letting Hassan get rapped to have a kite, a simple object, which he believes is the key to his fathers affection. A father's affection should go deeper then a kite. His father is the adult, and even though he was caused a lot of pain by the death of his wife, he cannot put that type of blame on a young boy. Of course Baba did not think of such a drastic outcome, but I don’t think his actions should go unnoticed in developing his son's character. He seems like an individual who wants to do good, but he can do good and care in all aspects of his life than just making his son feel like he is worth something to him. In the end all Amir wants is to feel like his dad thinks he is worth something than just the object of his mother’s death. The social classes are so ingrained into the boys heads that Hassan literally did anything to make Amir happy, whether Amir deserved it or not. Amir seems conflicted with his born superiority and has to tell himself that Hassan is “just a Hazara”. However, Hassan rarely questions his position as a servant, and I wonder why that is.
