Is loyalty a quality worth having if no one returns the same affections or nobody notices it? Being loyal to someone who is unloyal is difficult, and to try to stick by someone who constantly betrays you is as well. Loyalty is a fortunate quality to have. Loyalty requires love, devotion, sacrifice, and the willingness to forgive, and in The Kite Runner we see that Hassan has these qualities, as well as Sohrab and Soraya. Loyalty is an important quality to have in a relationship, and if we are not loyal to the other person, loyalty cannot be expected from them.

He is loyal, hard-working, doesn’t fight back when people treat him poorly, and stays by Amir’s side. Unfortunately, like his father, he loses his innocence at a young age. When Assef takes Sohrab, Sohrab never tries to run away, and he never tries to fight Assef. Through all of this, Sohrab shows a kind of loyalty that we should all have. Although it does not seem like the best alternative, it is smart. Sohrab knows that Assef will hurt him more if he tries to get away, and possibly hurt others that he knows. This loss of innocence transforms Sohrab’s mind, and he stops talking. When Amir and Soraya take him in, not filling the room with his voice, but filling it with silence. The worst kind of voice to hear. When Amir told him he might have to go back to an orphanage, all of that trust faded away. He showed the same loyalty as he did with Assef, by not fighting back. He didn’t argue with Amir, he just accepted it, and unfortunately also tried to leave the terrible life he was living. Sohrab shows moral loyalty. He doesn’t want to hurt Assef, but does so to save Amir, and this fulfills the legacy his father created of “One-eyed …show more content…
When Amir and Soraya first meet, he has a major crush on her. He finds her very attractive, smart, funny, and alluring. He really wants to get to know her, and find out what her story is. When he shares his writing with her, she starts to like him too. A little while after they meet, Baba gets sick and they have to go to the hospital. Amir cries and leaves the room because he cannot bare to see Baba, and Soraya comes out to sit next to him outside of the room. She sits down next to him, grabs his hand, and asks if he needs anything. When she leaves, he tells her “I’m happy you came. It means,,,the world to me” (Hosseini 161). In a way, Soraya is like the Hassan of America. Even after finding out what Amir had done, and how he had betrayed his best friend, she forgave him. She loved Amir with all of her heart, and to show that, she forgave him for his past sins. She showed complete forgiveness, and salvation through her love. When Amir went back to Kabul, he didn’t tell Soraya exactly what he was doing. To be told your husband is leaving for a little while, but comes back a lot later than expected must have scared her. Soraya never gives Amir any reason to doubt her love for him, and she never doubts her own feelings. Soraya is lovingly
