Amir came from a powerful family.He had no mother.It was very reasonable that he rely on him a lot. I mean mentally.Amir love his father a lot and his father love him as well.In addition, i do think Amir respect him more than he loves him for the following reasons.
First, his father was very rich and powerful, people respected him.Imagine growing up in that kind of family or background, how can't Amir did not respect him. Second,along with respect ions, Amir was very proud of him.It's human natural to admire people with power and money.As we can find proof from page 15 the first sentence: .....because then everyone would see that he was ,y father, my baba.By the way, Amir called his father Baba more often instead of father or something else, which also shows he loved him.They were close and in a healthy relationship.Last, Amir was very eager to share every single pieces of his life with Baba.As we can find from the bottom of page 17: ..We'd had a fleeting good moment....and i'd been a fool to waste it.
To sum, Amir loved Baba very much.However, interestingly he thought he killed his mother and I do think he was maybe a little fear of Baba too.They were close and in a healthy relationship anyway.

I regret to say that I disagree with you. Only respect and love cannot determine whether their relationship is healthy or not. What's more, almost all the emotion you've talked is from Amir but not bilateral.
ReplyDeleteWei, you raise some interesting points, but you are sending some contradictory messages. You say that he loves and respects his father, but also that he is afraid of him. Your quotes relate to the topic but do not show strong support for your argument.
ReplyDeleteI think I disagree with you, I think you were right about Amir respects his Baba, but I don't think they are in a healthy relationship. Depends what Amir said about his feels to his Baba.
