"...even in birth, Hassan was true to his nature: He was incapable of hurting anyone." (p. 10)
Amir, the narrator, characterizes Hassan with this line in the second chapter of the book. Throughout the following chapters, this line proves true. Hassan is abused, mentally and physically even by the one person that he is most loyal to. Amir. However, he never lays a finger on anyone. Even when his best friend throws pomegranates at him and begs him to throw one back, Hassan smashes a pomegranate on himself. He refuses to break his loyalty to others. After being brutally attacked by a group of bullies, Hassan says nothing to get the boys in trouble. Hassan knows that Amir framed him for stealing and still admits to taking the money and the watch. Hassan proves that he is loyal beyond what many could even imagine.
