A Thousand Splendid Suns
In a nation brimming with discrimination, violence and fear, a multitudinous number of hearts will
become malevolent and unemotional. However, people will rebel. In the eye–opening novel, A
Thousand Splendid Suns written by Khaled Hosseini, the country of Afghanistan is exposed to
possess cruel, treacherous and sexist law and people. The women are classified as something lower
than human, and men have the jurisdiction over the women. At the same time, the most horrible
treatment can bring out some of the best traits in victims, such as consideration, boldness, and
protectiveness. Although, living in an inconsiderate world, women can still carry aspiration and
benevolence. Mariam and Laila (the main characters of A Thousand Splendid Suns)...show more

Some weeks, if the wallet was light, she took only a five–afghani bill, or nothing at all, for the fear
that he would notice. When the wallet was plump, she helped herself to a ten or a twenty, once
even risking two twenties. She hid the money in a pouch she'd sewn in the lining of her
checkered winter coat. (247) Laila's boldness is shown as she makes a courageous decision to
steal from Rasheed, risking his acrimony if he were to discover her theft. However, Laila is
stealing for a very good cause, which would benefit both herself, and Aziza. Similarly, Mariam
exhibits her attribute of being bold as well, when she strikes Rasheed with a shovel in order to
save both Laila and herself: If she let him walk now, how long before he fetched the key from his
pocket and went for that gun of his upstairs in the room where he'd locked Zalmai? Had Miriam
been certain that he would be satisfied with shooting only her, that there would be a chance he
would spare Laila, she might have dropped the shovel. But in Rasheed's eyes she saw murder for
them both. And so Mariam raised the shovel high, raised it as high as she could, arching it so it
touched the small of her back. She turned it so the sharp edge was vertical, and, as she did, it
occurred to her that this was the first time that she was deciding the course of her own life. And, with
that, Mariam brought down the shovel.
