1. only a few female characters were in novel and they had little purpose and respected none. betrayal) seems like betrayal was common nature it happens as if it means nothing. Brothers) botherhood was based on your relationship with person rather than blood b/c they were like brother before they even knew. guilt) amir showed hidden guilt because he kept his feelings inside vs. just admitting to what had happen and moving on. Redemption and journey kind of went together because of the purpose amir made the trip back to right a wrong and the struggle of two young men.Father and sons) the father showed favoritism towards they two boys.. class distinction) they displayed the high class society and low class.

Setting takes place in present time and goes back to afganastan
