Three Symbols: 3rd Symbol


Amir’s Scar:

After Amir betrays Hassan, he spends the rest of his life trying to forget Hassan and rid himself of his guilt. Yet after years of try to forget Amir never really forgives himself. He is only really atoned by his sins until Assef physically scars him. Also very symbolic is the location and shape of the scare as it is cutting his lip in half just like a harelip. Now scarred Amir is more like his half brother Hassan, who once had a harelip himself.
