Answer:

The three main themes are friendship, family/love and guilt.

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the themes but they are also topics so trying to give it a theme is quite hard because you must find a way to explain such a theme. So for friendship you can talk about how Hassan and Amir were together since birth and how the pomegranate tree held so many of their friendship. SOmething like that. Sorry if I did not help as much...

The three main themes of the Kite Runner are Betrayal, Forgiveness, and Love.

Betrayal, which can be viewed as a type of transgression, is continuing and winds up being repetitive in The Kite Runner. For a large portion of the novel, Amir endeavors to manage his blame by keeping away from it. Be that as it may, doing this obviously does nothing toward making up for himself, and hence his blame perseveres. That is the reason regardless he winces each time Hassan's name is specified.

Hassan's activities exhibit that he pardons Amir's selling out, despite the fact that Amir needs to spend essentially the whole novel to find out about the idea of absolution. Baba's treatment of Hassan is his endeavor at increasing open pardoning for what he has not even freely confessed to have done. However the individual who talks most piercingly about the idea of pardoning is Rahim Khan.

Each relationship in The Kite Runner is endured some point, therefore giving different cases of the multifaceted nature of different sorts of affection. Hassan's affection for Amir is sacrificial, while Amir's for Hassan is for the most part narrow minded. The two connections along these lines illustrate — though accidentally to the characters — the nature of selfless love, an adoration that incorporates envy and uncertainty. Ali, Baba, the General, Hassan, Rahim Khan, and even Amir exhibit fluctuating degrees of fatherly love, each having desires for his youngster and giving physical or potentially passionate help.
