More Themes in TKR

Right, so I think the plan was to comment on other people's posts about the other themes besides redemption. But noone's done it yet so I've taken matters into my own hands....
The other themes to discuss were:
  1) Good and evil
  2) Loyalty and betrayal
  3) Fathers and sons
So, here are my examples of where each theme appears in the novel. I've tried to think of the not-so-obvious examples...........
  1) Good and evil- The good and evil Amir is capable of. For example, when he forces Hassan to leave Kabul, that seems like an act of evil- after all, Amir should feel he has to be friendly towards Hassan since he left him to be raped. An example of when Amir is good is when he saves Sohrab from Assef, 'I stumbled down the hallway, Sohrab's little hand in mine'.
  2) Loyalty and betrayal- An obscure example of when this theme appears is the character Zaman, the orphanage owner. His whole life is dedicated to the orphanage, and the welfare of the orphans. He is incredibly loyal in devoting himself to them, 'I've spent my life savings on this orphanage... you think I don't have family...?' but sometimes has to betray the trust of one to save more. 'If I deny him one child, he takes ten.' This theme is present here to show the reader that Afghanistan has become a place where even the people you most trust may be forced to betray you.
  3) Fathers and sons- The obvious choice is the contrast in Baba and Amir's relationship compared with Hassan and Ali's....But there's another example of the theme, in Assef's relationship with his father, shown at Amir's party. Assef was 'looming over both' parents, like 'he had brought them'. At the end of the conversation Amir realises 'neither of Assef's parents had said a word'. This shows that Assef's father is scared of him, and that the people who really know what Assef is like can see through his facade (that Baba believes is true). This use of the theme almost foreshadows the man Assef will become.
