Hassan

Unlike Amir who is about changing, Hassan's character is about never changing. He is always loyal, forgiving, and good-natured. As a servant to Baba and Amir, Hassan grows up with a very particular role in life. While Amir prepares for school in the morning, Hassan reads his Amir's books and his breakfast. While Amir is at school getting an education, Hassan helps Ali, his father, with the chores and grocery shopping. As a result, Hassan learns that it is his duty to sacrifice himself for others. By nature, he is not prone to envy, and he even tells Amir he is happy with what he has, though he sees all the time how much more Amir has. Hassan comes across as the personification of innocence as a result, and this innocence is crucial in creating the drama and symbolism.
