The Kite Runner Irony Analysis

There are crucial parts throughout the novel that Hosseini wanted us at readers to visualize as we read. Three ironic moments illustrated in the novel that I picked was when Baba told Amir “Now, no matter what the mullah teaches, theres is only one sin, only one. And that is theft” (16). The second irony is Baba tells Amir that there is one better than a Pashtun by your side. “We may be hardheaded and I know we’re far too proud, but, in the hour of need, believe me that there’s no one you’d rather have at your side than a Pashtun” (140). The last irony I found unique is the lip scar Amir gets later on in his life that is the same as Hassan’s lip when he was little.Hosseini utilizes irony as a part of his book to give another push to the story. His ironic moments in the novel helps shape our understanding of the story giving us a perspective on both sides of a problem. .
The first example of irony is ironic because Baba is actually the person stealing information about Amir and Hassan
This came to be an inaccurate saying from Baba because Hassan is a Hazara and Amir who is a Pashtun and because Amir was not there for Hassan when he got sexually abused by Assef but Hassan was there for Amir when he was ever bullied. After this outcome happened, this changed Amir and Hassan life because it became the nightmare of their life.
The last irony is Amir scar on his lower lip, “The impact had cut your lip in two, clean down the middle. But not to worry, the plastics guys sewed it back together and think you will have an excellent result, though there will be a scar that is unavoidable” (297). This helps Amir to remember how he has the same lip scar as Hassan did after he had experienced surgery on it. Amir feels that he is being edified of having the weight of not helping Hassan when he required him by getting abused by
