ABSTRACT
"The Kite Runner," a compelling novel by Khaled Hosseini, delves into the
intricate complexities of social class divisions as a means of categorizing individuals
within a particular cultural and historical context. This abstract aims to examine the
portrayal of social class in "The Kite Runner," exploring its implications for the
characters and their interactions within the narrative.Set against the backdrop of
Afghanistan, "The Kite Runner" vividly illustrates the disparities and tensions arising
from the social hierarchy in a stratified society. Hosseini presents a vivid portrayal of
social class distinctions, delineating the lives of characters from different strata and
depicting their interactions, aspirations, and struggles within a framework of societal
expectations.The concept of social class as a method of dividing humanity into distinct
categories has been a prevalent and enduring aspect of societies throughout history.
This abstract aims to explore the significance and implications of social class as a
means of categorization, reflecting on its impact on individuals and
communities.Social class divisions encompass a spectrum of economic, cultural, and
societal factors, often resulting in the stratification of populations into distinct groups
with varying access to resources, opportunities, and privileges. This stratification can
deeply influence individuals' life experiences, shaping their access to education,
healthcare, employment, and overall quality of life.
