Function of irony in the Kite Runner?
Fri, 05/20/2011 - 19:44 — AnonymousI know many examples of irony in the novel, such as Amir's encounter with Assef - '‘My body was broken... but I felt healed’ for example.
I can understand the irony behind each example, but I'm not sure why Hosseini has used this dramatic technique as a whole.
Maybe the irony is symbolic of Amir's life?
