The Kite Runner is a blend of sorrow, union and anything that oscillates between trauma and joy. Although primarily sprawled on a murkier backdrop of human suffering, the novel is suffused with instances of realizations of human errors coupled with rectification of acts far from moral. And displacement, which is the backbone of the novel, has even led to empowerment of some characters and brought about some heartening twist to the plot. The plot of the novel vividly depicts the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and how that adds to the problem of Afghani population from different socio-economic strata. This paper will talk about how displacement in different part and parcel hits hard characters from varied socio-economic standing, both earlier and in the aftermath of the Russian invasion.
