I agree with Davis to a certain extent that Amir is a coward and he is not built to be a leader. However, I do not think he is a horrible person for not acting upon the rape situation. He was fearful for his own life, even if he had acted, the result may have been even worse than it was. I think Amir was smart to put emotions aside and think logically in a situation like that one. Moreover, his remorse and guilt prove that he is not a bad person, just a coward. He does not give off the impression that he wants to hurt Hassan by ignoring him. He avoids him because he is being overcome with guilt and worry, this causes him to avoid Hassan because he feels so bad for what he did that deep down he doesn't feel worthy of being in Hassan’s presence. To add to his worries, he cannot talk to anyone about what is bothering him so there is no way of him venting his feelings and releasing any of the emotions that he has bottled up inside.
