This is evident when Brett announces, “I won’t be one of those bitches,” exclaiming that she is finally coming to realize who she wants to be and what she wants from a man(247).

In novels, the main character frequently relies upon close friends and relatives to listen and sympathize with the challenges they face throughout the story. Secrets in literature are usually told to someone that a character believes to be trustworthy and who they can confide their troubles. Although the confidant is mainly there to comfort the main character, he frequently serves to encourage the protagonist’s growth. In the novel The Kite Runner Rahim Khan is the confidant to both Hassan and Amir, because both are able to discuss life changing events with him and get sympathy from him.…
