Internal/External Conflict


           The internal conflicts revolve around Amir. Amir feels unspeakable guilt towards Hassan when he was raped. Amir also struggled to get a true sense of love from his father, as he always felt he was not a priority and felt lost and left out from his life almost. The great amount of pride and manly hood Hassan has made Amir realize that he never stands up for himself which he had difficulties coping with. When Hassan is gone, Amir feels extremely lonely because his father is not a typical father figure and since Hassan was his childhood friend that was with him through all the tough times.

As far as the external conflicts in the Kite Runner is indefinitely betrayal, and sacrifice that each character has to come face to face with physically, mentally and emotionally. Expiation is also a notable external conflict with relation to the sin that Amir and Hassan have partaken in.
