Who was your favourite character?

Hi

I thought it would be interesting to know which character each of you took most liking to in the Kite Runner, my favourite was definitely Hassan.

The way his mind works, the size of his heart, his loyalty to Amir...It's almost as if he's the perfect person.

I find it quite hard to describe why I like him so much, I think the part of the book in which I was most impressed by him is when he is confronted by Baba because of the watch he supposedly stole and he admits his guilt, even though he is not guilty. What kind of person would do that? He risked everything he had just so Amir could have things his way and on top of all that never held any type of grudge against him. Later on in the story, Sohrab tells Amir that Hassan always described him as "the best friend he ever had in his life" when Amir wasn't even always a true friend to him.

I am truly fascinated by this character and honestly believe that if we all had some Hassan in us, we would live in a much better place.
