Abstract
This study explores the unconscious desires and internal conflicts shaping Hassan's behavior in The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. Hassan’s character reflects repressed emotions, unspoken longings, and unconditional loyalty, influenced by socio-economic inferiority and a lack of maternal affection. Using Freud's psychoanalytic theory as a framework, this non-empirical study analyzed textual evidence from the novel, focusing on Hassan’s dreams and expressions. Key concepts included the unconscious mind, reality, love, and dream interpretation. Findings revealed Hassan’s deep yearning for emotional validation and acceptance, shaped by cultural and emotional voids. His loyalty to Amir stemmed from a longing for connection and was influenced by repressed desires and masochistic tendencies. To address similar issues in real-world contexts, fostering emotional support, promoting cultural sensitivity, and providing avenues for psychological resilience could help individuals navigate internal conflicts and unconscious desires.
