PERSONALITY TRAITS OF AMIR IN THE KITE RUNNER: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY

The present Research Paper attempts to analyze Amir's triple personality in the novel, The Kite Runner towards his father (Baba) and his friend (Hassan) by applying Freud's personality theory. His jealousy toward Hassan brings him dominance over Id, so he feels guilty for his past mistakes and makes redemption by rescuing Hassan's son Sohrab from Assef and completing his redemption. And finally, he becomes a good man again. All the personality traits of Amir have been identified but his personality traits vary significantly depending on the perceived presence of his social context.
