How do characters change or evolve throughout the course of the story?
Amir:
When we are introduced to Amir at the beginning of the novel, we are introduced to a boy of a rich father who has everything he wants but the love of his father, which is one thing every boy wants and needs. We see the type of person he is through his relation to his Hazara servent boy, Hassan. The way he acts towards Hassan shows two perspectives in Amirs character. Firstly, that he does mean well and he does love his best friend Hassan like a brother. The other side of his character that we see in his character is that he knows he is above Hassan and doesn't forget to remind him throughout the novel. He uses his higher power to some what poke fun of Hassan, because of his inability to read, or to stand up to himself even though he knows Hassan would do anything for him.
The change we see in Amir turns him into a boy with few words. As his relationship with Hassan changes, he himself changes aswell. He turns into a liar, a thief, a framer and many things that his father would not be proud of, only if he knew. As Amir grows up he tries to forget his old ways and when he goes to America he tries to return back to him old self and forget what made him so bitter for so long. All Amir wanted was a new beginning. In the end, Amirs true character shines through and we see him how we saw him at the beginning of the story and how his father wanted him to be. He turned out to be courageous, and loyal to his family.

Hassan:
Hassan was Amir Agha's Hazara servants son. Being raised as a Hazara his character was already planned for him, and this was to be as loyal as he could. This characteristic was the most to shine through with Hassan and proved him to be the most loyal and protective character in the whole novel. We see his character shine through mostly with his friendship with Amir. Throughout the whole novel from cover to cover, Hassan stays true to Amir and his family. He stands up for Amir when he can and takes the fall also for Amir whenever he needs to. After a significant change in the story, Hassan also becomes a man of few words, he isn't as eager to play and run around as he was before, and him and Amirs whole relationship takes a new route.
Even based on these changes to their relationship, Hassan proves himself to be true to his loyal character and takes the blame one last time for Amir before he leaves his side forever. Even when the Hazara boy grows old and has a family of his own he is true to them and as loyal as he can be. His protective side comes out one more time for Amir before he is shot and killed by the Taliban trying to protect Amir even though he is thousands of miles away in America.
