The Kite Runner
Khalded Hosseini
Hosseini makes Soraya out to be a round character in The Kite Runner. When Amir first married Soraya, he neglected to disclose much information about his past. However, since Amir realizes he cannot leave for America without Sohrab, he must tell Soraya about his past. When he calls Soraya, he tells her everything. He also wants to ask her permission to bring Sohrab back to America with him. Amir worries that Soraya will not be accepting of Sohrab, but he could not have been more wrong. "Amir, he's your qaom, your family, so he's my qaom too"(Hosseini, 326). This shows that she views Sohrab as a member of her family before she has even met the boy. Hosseini shows that Soraya is a very loving character who is more than willing to be accepting. Soraya is a perfect complement to Amir. He needs a woman who can handle his complicated past. Her love is exactly what will get Amir through his hardships.
