Redemption through ‘New Beginnings’: Reading The Kite Runner by K. Hosseini

Khaled Hosseini'nin romanı The Kite Runner’da (2003) temel ahlaki bir talep olan “tekrar iyi bir insan olmanın yolu var” beklentisini, yeni başlangıçlarla desteklenen insancıllık kavramını da yansıtarak eleştirel bir bakış açısı ile incelemektedir. Roman Hosseini’nin Afgan kültüründe “kurtuluşa” nasıl ulaştığını göstermektedir. Makalede romanın ırk ve ulus üstünlüğünden hareketle "iyi bir insan" üretmek için “modern kurtuluşa” doğru bir geçişin olduğu görüşü tartışılmaktadır. İlave olarak, makale “Kurtuluş nasıl tezahür eder?”, “Kurtuluş içinde ihanetin rolü nedir?” gibi soruların yanıtlarını bulmaya çalışıyor. Romanda öne çıkan başka motifler olsa da, makale temel olarak suçluluk duygusundan kurtulma süreci üzerine odaklanacaktır.
