Soraya and Amir's relationship
This picture represents the relationship between Soraya and Amir. The wall of lockers represents the wall between Soraya and Amir caused by their inability to conceive and how the lack of children has left a hole in their relationship. The hand pulling the straps represents Soraya trying to understand Amir. However, she is unable to because of the lock on the locker, which represents Amir’s guilt and shame. Though he wants to let go of his secrets, which is shown by the straps hanging out of the locker, he is ultimately held back by his fear of judgement and his own shame over his actions as shown by the lock.

This metaphor is really deep and accurate. It definitely shows Amir's struggles in revealing his truths to Soraya, even though she was able to reveal hers.
ReplyDeleteVery nice image choice. It's a very strong representation of the kind of relationship that those two have. This can also represent how Hassan acted after getting beaten by Assef. Hassan did not talk to anyone and Ali tried to get through to him but would receive no information of what had happened.
ReplyDeleteI think the metaphor in this photo is really cool and I like how you incorporated yourself in the photo. I also feel like this photo can represent Amir trying to let go of his past but being unable to because of his guilt.
