Throughout works of literature, it is often a central point for a character to make a short appearance that may have a lasting effect on a novel. Khaled Hosseini’s “A Thousand Splendid Suns,” for instance, depicts a relationship between a mother and daughter that results in years of feeling unworthy, guilty, and hopeless. The fundamental basis of such a character has developed through the eyes of one of the two main female protagonists, Mariam. The novel connects the extraordinary impact of Mariam’s mother, Nana, through the concept that words can have a lasting effect on an individual, a horrendous act can have detrimental side effects, and hopelessness can become clear when one feels unloved.
