In the book "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini, Hassan and Amir's relationship is ruined. Amir feels incredibly guilty throughout the book, but we never really get to see Hassan's perspective. We see how Amir thinks of Hassan and the situation, but we never see what Hassan thinks of himself and the situation. I think the author excludes the point of view of Hassan to emphasize and bring out Amir's point of view. Khaled Hosseini is trying to make us feel bad for Hassan and also Amir.
The author wants us to feel bad for Amir by only showing his point of view. Amir feels regretful and guilty because he witnessed Hassan get raped and just ran away instead of helping. Normally, we would feel bad for Hassan because the author would show how much Hassan was in pain and how much he suffered. However, by not including Hassan's point of view we don't think badly of Amir, instead we feel bad for him because he constantly feels guilty and continues to hate himself. So now, neither Hassan or Amir are he antagonists.
The author wants both Hassan and Amir to be victims in this story. He wants us to blame the people who raped Hassan and society who pushes them farther away from each other. This really brings out the fact that society is awful and class expectations are ridiculous. The boys who raped Hassan raped him because he was of lower class and he was playing with someone very wealthy: Amir. Khaled Hosseini is trying to spread awareness of class division and how horrible it is. Both Amir and Hassan are victims of this. Amir is forced to push Hassan away and treat him like a person of less importance because society's expectations push him to do so. Hassan has to deal with losing his best friend and being sexually abused just because he is of lower class.
All in all, I think Khaled Hosseini is trying to send a message about how bad class division is. He does this by excluding Hassan's point of view, which victimizes Hassan and Amir, leaving society the only one to blame for their confusing lives and ruined friendship. He is trying to tell us that class division can ruin relationships and society puts too much pressure on wealthy people to behave a certain way.
