The Kite Runner contains many families that suffer in their own
unique way. Two different fathers in the novel both are
overbearing in their own way, which leads to their families
falling apart. The author uses these families to dimistrait the
theme of how overbearing parents will cause their kids to resent
their family. The main character Amir's family's major source
of unhappiness was Baba's decision to father an illegitimate
child with the servant’s son. This created an unhealthy dynamic
between The legitimate and illegitimate son where the
legitimate son constantly had to fight for and earn his father's
affection from the illegitimate son. It got so bad that Amir, the
legitimate child, forced the two families to separate. Ironically,
Baba showing his son too much affection is what separated them
in the end. Amir’s wife Soraya has a broken family of her own.
Her father was a famous General back in Afghanistan, but now
does nothing but run a resale store as a hobby and cash in
welfare checks. He sees himself as above the rest of his
countrymen and too important to work labor. While he does
nothing to improve his standard of living, he expects his
daughter to not only be successful in school but pursue a high-
paying job to his specification. This pressure makes Soray act
out and rebel, leading her to compromise her Purity Within The
Afghani community. This sacrifices her chance at marrying, one
of the major ways his family could have moved up socially and
economically. Both of these fathers put unrealistic expectations
on their children leading to broken families in a different way.
Baba’s unrealistic expectations led Amir into destroying the
family he loved while Sayora’s father's overbearingness led her
to ruin his family’s pride which he valued over everything.
