ReplyDeleteI am not too sure about the symbolism of question 56. Did Hassan and Amir meet Assef in an alley originally where the threats were made? is that he symbolism? I am still not sure.
The symbolism is to signify what happened to Hassan in the alley. This was the part she said we did not have to read. Amir did not protect Hassan from what happened and he was guilty about it for his whole life. He watched it happen and then ran away. The symbolism is him remembering what happened and realizing he needed "to be good again"
ReplyDeleteThe symbol is the alley first of all. I think one possibility might be the how the alley sort of encloses Hassan with his attackers. Hassan is at a disadvantage. I think when Amir would tell him certain words meant different things than what they really meant showed Amir keeping Hassan from contributing to society. He was closing him off. Also when he let Hassan fight his battles he was closing him off from being his own person. There are many instances where this concept is prominent.
