In The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is a novel that discusses the importance and uses of setting. Afghanistan is a sinful place for a young boy, Amir, who lived in Afghanistan for the majority of his life. This particular novel takes place in the past between 1975-2001 which shows the malicious ways of the Taliban, who are a violent group of Pashtuns. Amir goes though many ongoing events, that still happen today. Amir is must face fear its self and the true meaning of redemption, although the novel has numerous aspects of the book, which the settings were the most significant.

The setting acts as an antagonist to the man because it creates conflict, man versus nature, and is partially the cause of the man’s death. The brutal and harsh conditions of the Yukon works against the man in almost every way possible. In the story, the man gets his feet wet and struggles to build a fire (Line 255). The gradual freezing and numbing of his body begins which will eventually lead to his inevitable death.

The Kite Runner is a historical fiction book written by an Afghan-born American, Khaled Hosseini. Hosseini, the son of an Afghani diplomat, was born and raised in Kabul, Afghanistan, where he lived until the age of eleven. In his novel, The Kite Runner, Hosseini shows the path from guilt to redemption for Amir, the son of a wealthy businessman in Kabul. It shows Amir’s struggles and successes in finding and staying true to himself. Hosseini changes setting many times throughout the course of the book. He uses this element extraordinarily well to help the reader understand how life changed for Amir, to help the reader understand the emotions of the characters, and to help the reader relate to some of the circumstances that Amir encountered.

People are viewed differently throughout their lives. In The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini portrayed Baba as a great man. Baba didn’t tell Amir his son that he had a half brother that was his best friend growing up in Hassan. Baba only tells one man named Rahim Khan who has to tell Amir the news after he had passed away. Baba is the most morally ambiguous he’s shown as a great man but does all of his great deeds to make up for his past sins.
